The term "heterozygous" refers to an organism that has two different alleles for a specific gene, one inherited from each parent. This genetic variation can result in diverse traits and characteristics. In contrast to homozygous individuals, who have identical alleles for a gene, heterozygous organisms may display a dominant phenotype or a mix of traits, depending on the nature of the alleles involved.
