Detailed explanation-1: -The heterozygous condition carries both dominant and recessive alleles, the presence of dominant allele masks the expression of the recessive allele.

Detailed explanation-2: -In contrast to recessively inherited traits, some alleles are dominant. With a dominant trait, an individual will express the associated phenotype even with just one copy of the allele for the trait.

Detailed explanation-3: -dominant". A dominant allele of a gene masks the expression of the recessive allele of said gene in heterozygous individuals.

Detailed explanation-4: -Unlike homozygous, being heterozygous means you have two different alleles. You inherited a different version from each parent. In a heterozygous genotype, the dominant allele overrules the recessive one. Therefore, the dominant trait will be expressed. The recessive trait won’t show, but you’re still a carrier.

Detailed explanation-5: -Refers to a trait that is expressed only when genotype is homozygous; a trait that tends to be masked by other inherited traits, yet persists in a population among heterozygous genotypes.
