If one allel is dominant and the other is reccesive then the individual is said to be heterozygous. Sorry about the spelling.
heterozygous
The individual is heterozygous for that gene. This means they have two different alleles for the gene, one inherited from each parent. The individual will express the dominant allele if present.
The two different alleles on the homologous chromosomes are referred to as "heterozygous alleles." Each chromosome carries one allele for a specific gene, and when the alleles differ, the organism is said to be heterozygous for that gene. In contrast, if both alleles are the same, the organism is termed "homozygous."

heterozygous
heterozygous gene. In this situation, both alleles are different and both are expressed, resulting in a blending or mixing of their traits.
Different versions of the same gene are called
The individual is heterozygous for that gene. This means they have two different alleles for the gene, one inherited from each parent. The individual will express the dominant allele if present.
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).
the alternative form of a gene is called an "allele."
i dont know thats why im asking
A different version of the same gene is called an allele. Alleles are variations in the DNA sequence of a gene that can result in different traits or characteristics. Individuals inherit two alleles for each gene, one from each parent.

No, all alleles at a specific gene locus are not identical. Alleles are different forms of a gene that can result in different traits or characteristics. Each individual inherits two alleles for each gene, one from each parent. These alleles may be the same (homozygous) or different (heterozygous).
