Heterozygous and Homozygous
The term heterozygous refers to the situation where a specific gene is represented by two differing forms or alelles within the diploid nucleus. The opposite case within th...

Hemizygous
Hemizygous organisms contain a single form (allele) of a gene without a complimentary or corresponding allele. Because the number of alleles present in an organism is referred to as the gen...

Heterozygote
Heterozygotes are zygotes (a fertilized ovum or egg) that, with regard to a specific gene at a particular chromosomal location (locus), contain different forms (alleles) of that gene. Het...

Homozygote
Homozygotes are zygotes (a fertilized egg or ovum) that, with regard to a specific gene, contain identical forms (alleles) of that gene at a particular location (locus) on a chromosome. Hom...
