0 having two different forms of a gene (= part of a cell containing DNA information) that controls a particular characteristic, one inherited from each parent, and therefore able to pass on either form:
a heterozygous cell
1 having two different forms of a gene that controls one characteristic, and therefore able to pass either form to the young
However, among the 94 oocysts typed from 28 mosquitoes in which no heterozygous oocysts were recovered, there were 20 non-amplifying oocysts.
The plant is typically allogamous and consequently highly heterozygous.
Markers for which a sire is heterozygous are indicated by 1, otherwise 0.
Recombinational mapping is possible only in females doubly heterozygous for complementing t haplotypes.
The number of heterozygous nucleotide sites maintained in a finite population due to steady flux of mutations.
The number of heterozygous nucleotide sites maintained in a finite population due to the steady flux of mutations.
In this experimental system, mutagenesis was followed by eight generations of growth in a mass culture when mutations with large heterozygous effects would be out-competed.
Increased dominance also, of course, reduces the rate of the ratchet, because selection reduces the frequency of mutations even when they are heterozygous.
