Concept information
Preferred term
heterozygote
Definition(s)
- An individual is heterozygous at a given locus if he has different alleles on both homologous chromosomes within the 22 autosomal chromosomes or the paired sex chromosomes of a female (males, with two different sex chromosomes, are classified as hemizygous at the sex chromosome). Heterozygosity is determined on a locus-by-locus basis and is not used to characterize a whole genome or individual. [Source: Encyclopedia of Global Health; Heterozygote]
