When both alleles of a gene are different, the individual is termed heterozygous for that gene. This means that one allele is inherited from each parent, resulting in genetic variation. Heterozygous individuals can exhibit a dominant phenotype if one allele is dominant over the other, or they may show a blending of traits if both alleles contribute to the phenotype.
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.
When both genes from a homologous pair are different, the individual is heterozygous for that specific gene. This means each gene carries a different allele for the same trait. This can lead to a variety of outcomes, depending on whether the alleles are dominant or recessive.
When an individual has two different alleles for a gene, they are said to be heterozygous for that gene. This means that they have one dominant allele and one recessive allele for that particular trait.
the dominant gene is not determined by mom or dad. its determined by whoever (could be either or both) has the dominant gene. not all genes over ride another gene though. codominance is possible which is where both dominant, different genes are expressed in different areas of the organism (fur color for example) in different concentrations (pink flower from red and white parent flowers is another example. what we see is the dominant red gene but since the white gene is also mixed in, our eyes see a lighter red color).
Different alleles of genes are called traits. For example hair color, eye color or blood type.
heterozygous
heterozygous gene. In this situation, both alleles are different and both are expressed, resulting in a blending or mixing of their traits.
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 2 alleles of the gene for the trait are different on the 2 homologous chromosomesBeing heterozygous for a trait means that they have different alleles for a trait. For instance: Tt would be heterozygous and TT or tt would be homozygous because they are both eitehr little or big t's.it mean the gene is not pure or for example suppose a person is blood group A but actually he is having A and O; because O is recessive trait the gene express the A trait instead, making the person having blood group A.

Different versions of the same gene are called
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 dominant gene is not determined by mom or dad. its determined by whoever (could be either or both) has the dominant gene. not all genes over ride another gene though. codominance is possible which is where both dominant, different genes are expressed in different areas of the organism (fur color for example) in different concentrations (pink flower from red and white parent flowers is another example. what we see is the dominant red gene but since the white gene is also mixed in, our eyes see a lighter red color).
If both parents carry a recessive gene for a particular trait, there is a 25% chance that their offspring will inherit two copies of the recessive gene and exhibit the corresponding trait. This can be determined through genetic Punnett square analysis to predict the probability of different genetic outcomes in offspring.
The different forms of a gene are called alleles.
