Detailed explanation-1: -Heterozygous refers to having different alleles for a particular trait. If the two versions are different, you have a heterozygous genotype for that gene. The relationship between the two alleles affects which traits are expressed.
Detailed explanation-2: -Heterozygous is a kind of organism that has different alleles present in its genotype for the same gene. For example, a pea plant might have both the alleles “Aa” in its genotype for seed texture, or round ("A") or wrinkled ("a") seeds.
Detailed explanation-3: -An organism that is heterozygous for a trait has two different alleles for that trait. An allele is an alternative form of a gene (one member of a pair) that is located at a specific position on a specific chromosome.
