An individual who has two different alleles for the same gene is__________ for that trait
A. Heterozygous
B. Homozygous
C. Dominant
D. Recessive

Respuesta :

The correct answer is A. Heterozygous

Think about the word's prefix and suffix, Hetero- (meaning "different") and -zygous (meaning "type of zygote").

In contrast, Homozygous would mean having two of the same alleles, being the prefix Homo- means "same".
