What Is a Heterozygote?
Heterozygote refers to genotype individuals whose two alleles are not the same at the same position on a homologous chromosome in a diploid. Heterozygote mating will result in character separation.

- Heterozygote refers to genotype individuals whose two alleles are not the same at the same position on a homologous chromosome in a diploid. Heterozygote mating will result in character separation.
- Since diploid organisms carry two copies of each gene, they may carry the same allele, or they may carry different alleles. Heterozygote refers to genotype individuals with different alleles at the same locus on the homologous chromosome in diploids [1] .
- Heterozygosty essentially refers to a specific genotype [1] .
- Heterozygous genotypes are represented by uppercase letters (for dominant / wild-type alleles) and lowercase letters (for recessive / mutant alleles), such as "Rr" or "Ss". Alternatively, the heterozygote of the gene "R" is assumed to be "Rr". Uppercase letters come first and lowercase letters come after.
- If the trait is determined by simple (complete) dominance, the heterozygote will only express the trait encoded by the dominant allele and will not express the trait encoded by the recessive allele. If the dominant traits are complex, the degree of heterozygosity may also be complex.
- Heterozygous genotypes are more adaptable than homozygous dominant or homozygous recessive genotypes. This phenomenon is called heterozygous dominance.
