The degree or extent to which an individual or a population has two different alleles at corresponding loci for a specific gene. 4, record 1, English, - heterozygosity
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT
A measure of genetic variation (in contrast to its description in terms of allele frequencies) is the amount of heterozygosity for a gene in a population, which is given by the total frequency of heterozygotes for the gene. If one allele has a very high frequency and all others have frequencies near zero, then there is very little heterozygosity because most individuals are homozygous for the common allele. 1, record 1, English, - heterozygosity
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
In formula, heterozygosity is usually represented by the letter "H". 4, record 1, English, - heterozygosity
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 OBS
genetic heterozygosity: Although this term is largely used, it is a pleonasm, since heterozygosity relates to the genes. 4, record 1, English, - heterozygosity
