Mixing characteristics
DefinitionThis section has been translated automatically.
Mixing heritability (as opposed to pure heritability) in relation to a specific characteristic. A diploid organism has two copies of each gene (usually one from each parent). If both alleles of an individual are identical for a certain trait, the genome is called homozygous or homozygous in relation to this trait. If, on the other hand, there are two different alleles, this is called heterozygosity.
