An alternative to the term heterozygous

1 answer

An alternative term for "heterozygous" is "heterogeneous." However, in genetics, "heterozygous" specifically refers to the presence of two different alleles at a particular gene locus. If you are looking for more context-specific alternatives, phrases like "mixed genotype" or "varied alleles" could be used, but they are not formal synonyms.
