heterozygous genotype

Explanation:
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.
Detailed explanation-2: -An organism with two different alleles for a specific trait is called heterozygous or hybrid.
Detailed explanation-3: -The combination of alleles that an organism carries constitutes its genotype. If the paired alleles are the same, the organism’s genotype is said to be homozygous for that trait; if they are different, the organism’s genotype is heterozygous.
Detailed explanation-4: -A heterozygous genotype may include one normal allele and one mutated allele or two different mutated alleles (compound heterozygote).
