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 homozygous genotype contains two identical alleles. An individual can either be homozygous dominant (ex: HH) or homozygous recessive (ex: hh). A heterozygous genotype contains two different alleles (ex: Hh).
Detailed explanation-3: -Hh is an example of a heterozygous gene. A heterozygous gene is a gene that carries two different alleles and can be represented by a small letter and a big letter (Hh or hH).
Detailed explanation-4: -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-5: -For both heterozygous individuals (Hh), the gametes can carry the H (dominant allele) or the h (recessive allele). For Hh, the gametes can carry the H (dominant allele) or the h (recessive allele).
