heterozygote
heterozygote A
diploid or
polyploid individual that has
alleles at at least one
locus. Its
phenotype is often identical to that of an individual that has one of these alleles in the
homozygous state. For example, the phenotype of
A1A2 may be identical to that of
A1A1, but different from that of
A2A2. If so, that allele (
A1) is said to be dominant over the other (
A2), which is said to be recessive. When there exist only two alleles of a gene and when one of these is dominant over the other, one may use a lower-case letter for the recessive allele (e.g. one may write
Aa rather than
A1A2). However, alleles are not always dominant one over another; and often there are more than two alleles at a given locus, especially in polyploids. Because it has two or more different alleles at a given locus, a heterozygote does not breed true.
