Examples of homozygote

homozygote
X-linked dominant inheritance will show the same phenotype as a heterozygote and homozygote.
From the en.wikipedia.org
The cell or organism in question is called a homozygote.
From the en.wikipedia.org
Apolipoprotein E2 homozygote has been associated with a protective effect against AD and contributes to delaying the onset of symptoms.
From the sciencedaily.com
However previously, no significant data had pointed to clinically confirmed AD in persons with apolipoprotein E2 homozygote.

This usually happens when the heterozygotes for the alleles under consideration have a higher adaptive value than the homozygote.
From the en.wikipedia.org
This mutant is being kept at a high level in the population despite the lethal or near-lethal effects of the mutant homozygote.
From the en.wikipedia.org
In practice heterozygote advantage puts a limit to the effect of selection, since neither homozygote can reach 100% of the population.
From the en.wikipedia.org
Clinical confirmation of the apolipoprotein E2 homozygote Alzheimer's disease finding in this study was confirmed by MRI, PET and neuropsychological evaluation and testing.
From the sciencedaily.com
A mutant with a heterozygote disadvantage can be maintained in a population if it occurs frequently enough for sufficient homozygote offspring to be produced.

  • (genetics) an organism having two identical alleles of a particular gene and so breeding true for the particular characteristic
  • Zygosity refers to the similarity of genes for a trait (inherited characteristic) in an organism. If both genes are the same, the organism is homozygous for the trait. If both genes are different, the organism is heterozygous for that trait. ...
  • A diploid individual that has equal alleles at one or more genetic loci
  • An individual that is homozygous.
  • An individual who has two identical alleles at a particular locus, one on each chromosome of a pair.
  • An individual who harbors a particular DNA sequence on both copies of a given chromosome
  • A genotype in which the two alleles at a locus are the same, e.g. PP or pp.
  • As opposed to a heterozygote for a given SNP or allele, a homozygote is a person who inherits the same form from Mom and Dad. Example: at the SNP position known as rs16260, a person who inherits a (C) from both parents is a rs16260(C;C) homozygote.
  • An organism that has two identical alleles at a locu (see heterozygote)
