An organism that has two different alleles for a particular trait is indeed considered heterozygous for that trait.
Here's a breakdown:
* Allele: A specific version of a gene.
* Heterozygous: Having two different alleles for a trait.
* Homozygous: Having two identical alleles for a trait.
For example, let's say a gene controls flower color, and there are two alleles:
* R: Red flower
* r: White flower
An organism with the genotype Rr would be heterozygous for flower color because it has one red allele (R) and one white allele (r).
