Heterozygous
The most accurate description of an organism with genotype AaBb is heterozygous. A homozygous genotype is aaBB and AA.
Bb The phenotype is what the individual looks like. The genotype is the genetic material at the site that can be passed on even if it isn't expressed. For example: Animal with black hair bb (can only pass the black characteristic on to it's offspring because it is homozygous recessive). It is phenotypically black. An animal with red hair can be Bb or BB. Bb is heterozygous and the animal is phenotypically red. BB is homozygous dominant for red and the animal is phenotypically red. More information than requested but an explanation none the less.
They refer to the alleles in a genotype. For the basics of genetics, we can say that each allele is either dominant or recessive. Dominant is represented by an uppercase letter, and recessive a lowercase. If the genotype is AA, it is homozygous dominant. If it is aa it is homozygous recessive. If it is Aa, it is heterozygous. Simply, homozygous means that both of the alleles are the same and heterozygous means it has one of each allele.
Heterozygous Aa Homozygous AA, aa
A homozygous dominant genotype means that both alleles for a trait are dominant. A heterozygous genotype means that one allele is dominant and the other is recessive. A heterozygous genotype will express the dominant phenotype, not the recessive phenotype.
The most accurate description of an organism with genotype AaBb is heterozygous. A homozygous genotype is aaBB and AA.
different, not alike, homozygous is alike
It's heterozygous. Heterozygous is when there is a big letter and a little letter, like Bb. Homozygous is when both letters are the same size, like BB or bb.
homozygous- TT; heterozygous- Tt :)
No, because it has the AA and the CC those are homozygous. The Bb is the only heterozygous trait, and there is only 1.
"BB" and "bb" are Homozygous"Br" are hetrozygous

Yes - Hh is heterozygous. HH is homozygous, and hh is homozygous.
Homozygous
They refer to the alleles in a genotype. For the basics of genetics, we can say that each allele is either dominant or recessive. Dominant is represented by an uppercase letter, and recessive a lowercase. If the genotype is AA, it is homozygous dominant. If it is aa it is homozygous recessive. If it is Aa, it is heterozygous. Simply, homozygous means that both of the alleles are the same and heterozygous means it has one of each allele.
Homozygous = identical allelesHeterozygous = different allelesEven though the genotype has two of the same letter, the difference in capitalization signifies they are different.Thus, Cc is heterozygous
It may be homozygous or heterozygous depending upon its mode of pollination and fertilization.
