Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The presence of two different alleles at a particular gene locus. A heterozygous genotype may include one normal allele and one mutated allele or two different mutated alleles (compound heterozygote).
Detailed explanation-2: -The presence of two different mutated alleles at two separate genetic loci.
Detailed explanation-3: -An individual inherits two alleles, one from each parent, for any given genomic location where such variation exists. If the two alleles are the same, the individual is homozygous for that allele. If the alleles are different, the individual is heterozygous.
