    An organism with two different alleles is

    A)  homozygous for that trait

    B)  homologous for the allele

    C)  heterozygous for that trait

    D)  heterologous for the alleles

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    A diploid organism is heterozygous at a gene locus when its cells contain two different alleles of a gene. Heterozygous genotypes are represented by a capital letter (dominant allele) and a lowercase letter (recessive allele), such as "Rr" or "Ss". The capital letter is usually written first. If the trait in question is determind by simple (complete) dominance, a heterozygote will express only the trait coded by the dominant allele and the trait coded by the recessive allele will not be present.
