Question

stating that an organism is heterozygous is staying its ..... a. genotype... b. phenotype.....c. karyotype....d. test cross

Answer 1

Genotype heterozygous tells you the alleles are different, which is found in the genotype

Answer 2

Answer:

Option A, Genotype

Explanation:

Genotype is the representation of allele pair acquired by an offspring after a cross is carried out between its parents (who too have a certain genotype)

When the two alleles of any particular trait in any individual are exactly similar to each other then the genotype of the individual is said to be homozygous while when these two alleles different from each other then the genotype of the individual is said to be heterozygous.

For example - if "T" and "t" are two alleles for height of an individual, then "TT"  and "tt" represents the homozygous genotype while the "Tt"  represents the heterozygous genotype

Hence, option A is correct
