Question

How many heterozygous loci are in the following genotype:

VGscecPU/VGscECpu

Answer 1

Heterozygous loci are the ones which have two different alleles (one dominant and the other recessive) at the same locus. Capital letters indicate domiannt alleles and lower case letters indicate recessive alleles.

So for example, the first one both has two capital Vs and is homozygous dominant.

I count four heterozygous loci.
