|
Haplotypes - The genetic constitution of individuals with respect to one member of a pair of allelic genes, or sets of genes that are closely linked and tend to be inherited together such as those of the MAJOR HISTOCOMPATIBILITY COMPLEX. |
|
Heterozygote - An individual having different alleles at one or more loci in homologous chromosome segments. |
|
Homozygote - An individual in which both alleles at a given locus are identical. |
