It means "from a different egg". It is generally used to describe non-identical twins who formed embryos from 2 or more different egg cells. Identical twins are called monozygote as they separated from the same fertilized egg cell.

I am guessing you mean "heterozygous". This describes an organism that has parents with two different alleles is formed. For example, you have a male and a female in a relationship, they are HETEROsexuals, because they are two different genders.

What is the difference between heterzygous and homozygones?

A heterozygous have dissimilar pairs of genes for any hereditary characteristic while a homozygous have a the same pair of genes.


Is Ee a heterzygous or homozygous?

It would be heterozygous because the two alleles are different (one dominant and one recessive). EE would be homozygous dominant and ee would be homozygous recessive.


What is heterzygous in genes?

A heterozygous dominant gene is a gene that is more dominant in the gene pool but is made up of 2 diffrent traits passed from parent example: A heterzygous gene would be Tt for tall. The T stands for domintant trait as being tall and the t stands for the recessive trait short. All heterzygous means is that it is made up with 1 captial letter and 1 lowercase letter.


Why is tay sachs is considered recessive level and codominant at the molecular level?

The part of tay sachs that kills you is recessive. Some proteins are still expressed even if you are a heterzygous carrier of tay sachs (less than if you are homozygous recessive but more than homozygous dominant) making the molecular view of tay sachs codominant.


Can you make a punnett square of heterzygous for curly hair mating with a homozygous recessive for stright hair?

Yes you can, the top row would have Cc, which is heterozygous for the curly hair. The side column would be cc, which is homozygous recessive. The top right box would be Cc, the top left would be cc, the bottom right would be Cc, and the bottom left would be cc.

Is the genotypeAA a homozygous dominant or heterzygous dominant?

The two AA genes are the same uppercase letter, so they are homozygous. 'Homo' means 'same'. If the genotype was Aa, it would be heterozygous, because 'hetero' means 'different'.


What will be the phenotype of a heterzygous gerbil?

A gerbil with a recessive gene would generally not show it, aka it will not show as a phenotype. However, there are slight differences in some gerbils with recessives, such as a lighter coat if the gerbil has a recessive c(h), g, or a.
