Genotype is the genetic make-up or the genetic constitution of an organism. It's the particular combination of alleles an organism possesses. The combination can be heterozygous or homozygous. Heterozygous is where there are two different alleles on the corresponding chromosomal loci. It is usually represented by a big case letter and a small case letter (Tt, tT, pP...)--- indicating that there is one recessive gene and one dominant gene. Homozygous (TT, tt, pp,PP), on the other hand, is where both alleles are the same. The two corresponding chromosomal loci either both have the dominant gene or the recessive gene.
Hope that helped.

The heterozygous genotype
You perform a test cross on a tall pea plant half the offspring are short what conclusion can you draw from this outcome?
The genotype of the tall pea plant is heterozygous
Genotype made of two different alleles?
Homozygous
What is the genotype and phenotype of homozygous?
Are you talking about phenotype or genotype? Phenotype is the expression of the genotype. Genotype is what you inherited. Phenotype is what you see. Homozygous is the same. Heterozygous is different. If you inherit one allele for blue eyes and one allele for brown eyes, your phenotype should be brown eyes. Your genotype would be brown eyes, blue eyes. You would have a heterozygous genotype.
What genotype will be produced by a heterozygous?
The trait that would be expressed in a heterozygous genotype would be the dominant trait. If one allele is dominant then it will be expressed.
What is the genotype of individual who is heterozygous for dimples?
Dd is the heterozygous genotype for dimples.
What genotype is Yy homozygous or heterozygous?
Yy is a heterozygous genotype. Homozygous would be YY or yy.
The combination Tt represents what genotype?
A heterozygous genotype
How can one determine whether a genotype is heterozygous or homozygous?
One can determine whether a genotype is heterozygous or homozygous by looking at the alleles present. If there are two different alleles for a particular gene, the genotype is heterozygous. If there are two of the same alleles, the genotype is homozygous.
Another word for a heterozygous genotype?
A Heterozygous genotype means an organism that has both the dominant and the recessive gene.
What word describes an organism that has the genotype Bb?
The most accurate description of an organism with genotype AaBb is heterozygous. A homozygous genotype is aaBB and AA.
What genotypes is heterozygous?
