Definition of homozygote in English:

homozygote

noun ˌhəʊmə(ʊ)ˈzʌɪɡəʊtˌhɒmə(ʊ)ˈzʌɪɡəʊt

Genetics

An individual having two identical alleles of a particular gene or genes and so breeding true for the corresponding characteristic.
Compare with heterozygote
Example sentencesExamples
- Similarly, inbreeding decreases the effective size of selection but unmasks deleterious alleles in homozygotes.
- Instead, they are directly related to the allele frequency of the homozygote tested and the sample size.
- Expression in heterozygotes and homozygotes is apparently identical.
- For example, in inbred populations there may be very few heterozygotes but several different homozygotes.
- The eye color of homozygotes and heterozygotes was compared in flies of the same age and sex.
- This is because inbred individuals are more likely to express deleterious alleles as homozygotes than are outbreds.

Derivatives

homozygosity

nounˌhɒmə(ʊ)zʌɪˈɡɒsɪti

mass noun

Genetics

The possession of two identical alleles of a particular gene or genes by an individual.
the strains were tested for homozygosity of both mutations
Example sentencesExamples
- This was considered an appropriate technique since there was a high incidence of homozygosity and single-site heterozygosity.
- For partially recessive mutations, high levels of homozygosity in inbred populations may partially oppose these effects.
- Increased individual homozygosity and decreased population-wide genetic diversity should be disadvantageous.

homozygous

adjectiveˌhɒmə(ʊ)ˈzʌɪɡəsˌhəʊmə(ʊ)ˈzʌɪɡəs

Genetics

Having two identical alleles of a particular gene or genes.
homozygous embryos
Example sentencesExamples
- Thirteen animals were heterozygous while one was homozygous for this amino acid substitution.
- In human patients, homozygous as well as heterozygous mutations are associated with disease.
- Because of perpetual inbreeding, each of the strains has an essentially homozygous genome.
