Homozygous is a description of alleles that are the same (HH,hh): either both dominant or both recessive. Heterozygous is a description of alleles that are different (Hh): one dominant, one recessive.

What is the difference between a homozygous dominant homozygous recessive and heterozygous individual?

They are the same


Is x and y hetero zygote or homo zygote?

The words homozygous and heterozygous don't apply to the chromosomes that you have but instead refer to the differing alleles (versions) of a gene you have. For example if you have a brown hair allele and a blond hair allele, you are said to be heterozygous for the hair colour gene. If you have two of the same allele you are said to be homozygous. As such one person will heterozygous for some of the thousands of human genes and homozygous for others. If you are XY it means you are male, and XX means you are female.


To determine if a particular plant is homozygous or heterozygous you would have to test cross with a what?

To determine if a plant is homozygous or heterozygous, you would need to test cross it with a homozygous recessive plant. If the offspring show the recessive trait, the original plant is heterozygous; if all offspring show the dominant trait, the original plant is homozygous.


What is crossing a homozygous dominant or homozygous recessive with a heterozygous?

There is a 50% chance of a homozygous dominant and a 50% chance of a heterozygous.


1 What is the difference between homozygous and heterozygous?

Homozygous refers to having two identical alleles for a trait, while heterozygous refers to having two different alleles for a trait. In other words, homozygous individuals have either two dominant or two recessive alleles, while heterozygous individuals have one dominant and one recessive allele.

Is AA an homozygous or an heterozygous?

AA could be either homozygous or heterozygous, depending on whether the individual inherited the same allele (A) from both parents (homozygous) or different alleles (Aa) from each parent (heterozygous).


What crosses will only produce heterozygous offspring?

A cross between two individuals that are homozygous for different alleles will only produce heterozygous offspring. This is because each parent can only donate one type of allele, resulting in all offspring being heterozygous for that particular gene.

Differentiate between homozygous and heterozygous?

Homozygous refers to having two identical alleles of a particular gene, while heterozygous refers to having two different alleles of a particular gene. In homozygous individuals, both alleles are the same (e.g., AA or aa), while in heterozygous individuals, the alleles are different (e.g., Aa).
