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: -A hybrid organism is one that is heterozygous, which means that is carries two different alleles at a particular genetic position, or locus. Therefore, a dihybrid organism is one that is heterozygous at two different genetic loci.
Detailed explanation-3: -The expression of phenotypes from both parents in a heterozygous state is called codominance.
Detailed explanation-4: -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.
