If both alleles of a diploid organism are the same, the organism is homozygous at that locus. If they are different, the organism is heterozygous at that locus.

Homozygous, as related to genetics, refers to having inherited the same versions (alleles) of a genomic marker from each biological parent.

Homozygous means you've inherited the same alleles of a gene from each of your parents. In contrast, heterozygous means you've inherited different alleles of a ...

14 янв. 2020 г. · We all have two alleles, or versions, of each gene. Being homozygous for a particular gene means you inherited two identical versions.

20 мар. 2024 г. · Homozygous: You inherit the same version of the gene from each parent, so you have two matching genes. Heterozygous: You inherit a different version of a gene ...

17 авг. 2021 г. · An organism that has the same two copies of a gene is considered homozygous for that trait, while an organism that has different copies of a ...

8 июл. 2023 г. · A homozygous refers to an individual (an organism, a gene, a genotype, or a condition) containing two copies of the same allele for a particular trait.

20 авг. 2012 г. · Zygosity refers to the genetic condition of a zygote. In genetics, zygosity describes the similarity or dissimilarity of DNA between homologous chromosomes.
