2/31 another term for heterozygous is purebred dominant recessive hybrid
In genetics (a subfield of Biology, which is part of Natural Science), heterozygous refers to having two different alleles for a particular gene. The term "hybrid" is often used as another term for heterozygous because a hybrid organism has a mix of different genetic traits (similar to having different alleles). "Purebred" refers to homozygous (same alleles), "Dominant" refers to an allele that masks another, and "Recessive" refers to an allele that is masked. So the correct term for heterozygous is Hybrid.
