  • Understanding Heterozygous Alleles: Representation & Examples
    There isn't a specific set of letters used to represent heterozygous. Instead, it's represented by using two different letters to indicate the alleles.

    Here's how it works:

    * Alleles: Different versions of a gene.

    * Heterozygous: Having two different alleles for a specific trait.

    Example:

    * Eye color: Let's say the allele for brown eyes is "B" and the allele for blue eyes is "b".

    * Heterozygous for eye color: A person with one "B" allele and one "b" allele would be represented as Bb.

    Important: The specific letters used depend on the trait and the alleles involved.
