Actually, there aren't specific letters. The letters depend on the alleles. For example, if the alleles are A and a, then Aa would be heterozygous, since hetero means different. Homozygous, however, would be two of the same alleles, since homo means same. The homozygous would be AA or AA in this example.

What genotype could be described as heterozygous?
Yes - Hh is heterozygous. HH is homozygous, and hh is homozygous.
What is a person who has one recessive allele for a trait and one dominant allele for the same trait and is able to pass in the trait on to their offspring?
That is heterozygous. Some scientist call these "hybrids"(no joke)The person is heterozygous for that trait and will have the dominant phenotype.An organism with both a dominant and recessive allele for a specific trait is called an heterozygote. They are heterozygous for this trait.
What are the symptoms of heterozygous?
There are not symptoms of heterozygous since it is not a disease or condition that you can get. It is a genetics term that refers to whether a gene is dominant or non dominate.
What is an example of two heterozygous parents?
The possible genotypes of parents who are heterozygous would be found using a punnet square. The outcome would be 50 percent heterozygous dominant, 25 percent homozygous dominant, and 25 percent homozygous recessive.
What is the opposite of homozygous of dominant?
heterozygous recessive
Is heterozygous Bb or BB?
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.
What gene is heterozygous?
a heterozygous gene is a gene with a genotype with two different letters. For example, Hh rather then hh, HH (which are homozygous). Hope this helps. =)
What represents heterozygous A?
To represent a heterozygous genotype, you would you two DIFFERENT letters. Whether it would be lower case or upper case depends on if it's dominant or not.
An allele that is not expressed in the heterozygous condition is?
If it's not a heterozygous, the alleles would either be two capital letters (TT) or two lowercase letters (tt). This is because the organism has either both two dominant alleles or two recessive alleles.
What are the letters for homozygous dominant heterozygous and homozygous recessive?
homozygous dominant means two alleles that are the same that are capital letters, heterozygous recessive means that to alleles are different BUT the same letters in lower case. (alleles for gender) EX: TT, Tt is homozygous dominant tt, tt is heterozgous recessive
Using letters how would you represent a plant tgat had hetrozygous tall?
If a plant is heterozygous tall you would use letters such as "T" for "tall" or "t" for short. If a plant is heterozygous tall it means that the "T" is the dominant gene but the plant carries both a dominant and recessive gene, represented by "Tt".
What is the difference between homozgous and heterozygous?
Heterozygous vs. Homozygous: These terms refer to genetic mutations. There are two copies of the protein codes in the genetic code. If one copy is normal and the other has the mutation, it is said to be heterozygous. If both copies have the mutation, it is said to be homozygous. For example: A/A -- homozygous. A/a -- heterozygous. a/A -- heterozygous. a/a -- homozygous.Homologous refers to the pair of chromosomes that are the same whilst Homozygous refers to the fact that alleles of a gene pair are the same
How do you spell heterozygous?
That is the correct spelling of "heterozygous" (having variant alleles).
When two alleles in a pair are different?
When the alleles are different the organism is heterozygous for that trait. Another way of putting it is to say the genotype is heterozygous for that trait. The dominant allele will be seen in the phenotype ie what is displayed.Most traits are governed by more than one pair of alleles.
Is AA a homozygous genotype?
homozygous = AA & AA Heterozygous = Aa
What crosses will only produce heterozygous offspring?
There only certain crosses that will produce heterozygous offspring. These are heterozygous vs heterozygous, homozygous vs homozygous and heterozygous vs homozygous.
Can a heterozygous reproduce with a heterozygous?
Yes
