Answered by GPT-5 mini AI
Such an organism is called heterozygous (a heterozygote). It has two different alleles of a gene (e.g., Aa). If one allele is dominant and the other recessive, the dominant trait is usually expressed while the organism can carry the recessive allele (a carrier). By contrast, an organism with two identical alleles is homozygous (AA or aa).
