n. (Gr. heteros, other; zygon, yoke) an organism or cell having two different alleles at corresponding loci on homologous chromosomes.
With respect to a given genetic locus, a diploid individual carrying two different alleles.
Referring to a diploid cell or organism having two different alleles of a particular gene.
( het-ur-oh- zy-gote) [Gk. heteros, other + zygotos, a pair] A diploid organism that carries two different alleles at one or more genetic loci.
An individual having different alleles for any gene pair and producing two kinds of gametes.
An organism with different alleles on homologous chromosomes.
An animal that possesses two different forms, or alleles, of a genetic unit; one allele is derived from the mother and the other from the father.
Having two different alleles at one or more loci in homologous chromosome pairs. One copy of the gene is normal and one copy is mutant. A heterozygote is also termed a carrier - carries one mutant copy.
an individual who has different alleles at a particular point on the chromosome map.
An individual who has two different alleles at a particular locus on the same pair of chromosomes.
an individual who inherits one version of a gene, called an allele, from the mother and a different variant of the gene from the father
A person who inherits two different alleles, one from each parent, at a particular chromosome location. When referring to genetic disorders, a heterozygote is usually someone who has one disease and one non-disease allele.
Having two different alleles for a give trait.
An individual having unlike alleles at one or more corresponding loci.
An individual who has two different alleles at the same locus. A heterozygote who has one dominant disease gene and one normal gene will be affected by the disease (as in Huntington disease); one who has a recessive disease gene and a normal gene will be a carrier (as in cystic fibrosis).
(adj: heterozygous) (Gr. heteros, different + zygon, yoke) An individual that has different alleles at the same locus in its two homologous chromosomes.
a cell or individual organism that possesses different alleles (of the same gene) at the same locus on homologous chromosomes.
An individual with two different alleles at a particular locus on a pair of chromosomes.
An individual who has two different alleles of a gene.
heterozygote carries two different versions of the same gene. Where the condition requires two altered versions of the same gene carrier is a heterozygote with one ‘normal’ and one altered copy of the gene.
An individual with different alleles of a particular gene, e.g. HbAS (sickle cell trait).
an individual who has two different forms of a gene at a given locus; i.e., different forms of a gene on two homologous chromosomes
Organism carrying two different alleles of the same gene. (adjective is heterozygous)
An individual who has inherited two different alleles at a particular location.
adj. heterozygous) An individual carrying unlike alleles of a gene (Aa).
An individual with one normal and one mutant allele at a given locus on a pair of homologous chromosome.
An individual who carries two different alleles of a particular gene. An individual who carries two different mutant alleles in the same gene is said to be a compound heterozygote.
A diploid individual with different alleles at the locus in question.
and homoozygote: An individual inherits a set of two alleles for each HLA locus from his or her parents. For instance, an individual may inherit HLAB27 from one parent and HLA-B8 from the other. Most individuals do not inherit the same gene (belonging to a locus) from both parents, and are said to be heterozygotes. Someone who inherits the same gene, e.g. HLA-B27, from both parents is homozygous for HLA-B27.
Having two alleles that are different for a given gene.
A person who has inherited two different alleles (one from each parent) at a gene locus. Usually interpreted to mean that one of the alleles is expressed normally. See Carrier.
an individual who possesses 2 different alleles, or gene variants, at a given site on a chromosome. Contrast with homozygote.
An individual who has two different alleles at a particular locus, one on each chromosome of a pair; one allele is usually normal and the other abnormal. Such an individual may also be referred to as a carrier.
An individual who has two different alleles at a particular locus, one on each chromosome of a pair; one allele is usually normal and the other abnormal Related Terms: carrier ; homozygote ; obligate carrier ; obligate heterozygote
An individual is said to be a heterozygote when the two alleles at a particular locus are different. 9 4
An individual that has one normal copy and one abnormal copy of a specific gene. Also known as carrier.
Individual having two different copies of an allele/marker/gene
An individual with two different genes at the allele loci.
Individual having alternate members of a gene pair at a given locus; the presence of different alleles on each chromosome at a particular locus.
An animal with two distinguishable alleles at a particular locus under analysis. In this case, the locus is considered to be heterozygous.
An individual that possesses two different alleles for a given gene.
a person who has two different alleles, one on each chromosome, at a single locus.
An organism carrying different alleles at the corresponding sites on homologous chromosomes.
Individual who has two different forms (alleles) of a specific gene. Example: people with the AB blood type have two alleles (A and B) for the blood type gene.
Individual that carries two different alleles.
an organism that has two different alleles at a locus (see homozygote)
An individual who possesses two different alleles at one particular locus on a pair of homologous chromosomes.
The person only carries one copy of a defective RECESSIVE gene.
