the quality of being heterozygous. Having two different alleles of a particular gene.
in an individual, two different alleles at one locus
Presence of two different alleles at a locus in a diploid organism (see homozygosity). It is the result of inheritance of different alleles from parents.
A measure of genetic diversity in a population, as measured by the number of heterozygous loci across individuals.
the state of being heterozygous; having two different alleles of the same gene
The percentage of people in a population who are heterozygous for a particular gene or marker; a measure of genetic diversity.
A measure of allelic diversity at a locus (or averaged over several loci) whereby alternate alleles at a locus are different.
presence of more than one allele type in an individual.
The two alleles at a locus are different.
Having different allelic genes at one or more loci in homologous chromosomes (i.e. having the same genetic location). If the same allele occupies both loci in a pair of chromosomes, the individual is said to be homologous for the allele. If not, the individual is said to be heterozygous for the allele.
Fraction of individuals with two different alleles at a locus
The presence of different alleles at one or more loci on homologous chromosomes.
the probablity that a given loci will be heterozygous in a randomly selected individual. e.g. the heterozygosity of a human enzyme encloding gene is about 7%.
