Thanks for stopping by. Today we are talking about homozygous vs heterozygous alleles. This is going to be a pretty quick video but I wanted to make it because I know it’s a tricky topic.
Let’s start by breaking down the terms. Any time you encounter the term “heterozygous” you should know it’s referring to two things being different or distinct from one another whereas “homozygous” refers to two things being the same.
Basically hetero=different and homo=same.
The same is true when referring to alleles. Using letters to represent alleles and referring to the most taught case of dominant vs recessive alleles. Two lower case letters such as “bb” would be a homozygous set of alleles, and in this case homozygous recessive. “BB” would also be homozygous, but would be homozygous dominant. “Bb” would be heterozygous. You wouldn’t assign dominant or recessive to the last pairing because it’s the only heterozygous option, so it needs no further distinction.
Alright, let’s do a quick recap. In dominant vs recessive alleles, if the two alleles are the same, the alleles are homozygous, the upper case being homozygous dominant and the lower case be homozygous recessive. If the two alleles are different, one uppercase one lowercase, then it’s heterozygous, just heterozygous.
I hope this clears up any confusion on the topic. Throw any additional questions in the comments and be sure to watch my other videos and share them with your friends.
I’ll catch you next time. - Krátké a kreslené filmy
Much content such wow. Keep it up!!
This is the greatest comment.
Hey man
@Caden Quinn why
*Bokachoda tumi?*
*I think the answer is yes answer the following in qna*

Amazing how one class can be condensed into not even a 2 minute video, thanks.
So true, not all concepts have to be long and drawn out.
true we have wasted in our in each class

Ikr these teachers make it seem so difficult💀
That too 2x the speed
Yo as a middle school bio teacher, can I just say how flipping IMPRESSED I am with these videos? Like, these are difficult topics to cover, let alone to cover in two minutes, and you have nailed every. single. one. I finally feel comfortable showing my students a video under five minutes without feeling like I'm sacrificing too much content in the process! I'm happy, the kids are happy, everybody's happy. Thanks!!!
Thank you, for your kind words and for being a teacher, especially during these crazy times ❤️
I taught for a few years and felt like there was a need for these short, succinct videos. I'm glad I'm not the only one.
No you aren't. No you can not and no you aren't. No they aren't. No he didn't. No you don't. Yes you are. No you aren't. No they aren't. I believe that just about covers it.
OMG thanks so much!! My teacher explained it so confusing and different I had ZERO idea what he was talking about!! This vid helped so much SO THANKS A BUNCH!!!
I'm glad it could help. I try to keep it as simple as possible.
Ikr
kmsl me too
4 years later and your videos are still as helpful!! thank uu!!
Thanks! I've got a biology exam tomorrow and didn't really understand these but this clears it up now!
I'm glad I could help. and I hope you did well!
ive got one today hahah
@@jeromemathew1973 and i have one tomorrow xD
I have tomorrow
Same here
I appreciate this. Was studying about this last night, and I begrudgingly "understood" it but decided today with a fresh brain, to try and see someone else's approach on it and yours was light years clearer and more succinct and effective.
Thanks for your kind words. I try to make it as clear and simple as possible.
Student from China here. Great explanation, simple but concise!
Glad it was helpful!
What the heck?! I’ve been reading my textbook on and off all day studying for finals trying to learn this and you just explained it to me in les than 3 minutes. Thank you 😭

Thank you! Good luck on your test 👍
Omg 😍 the videos uploaded by u helped me more than my bio teacher to understand the terms better in this lockdown without the help of school teachers
Thnq so much ..
This 1 minute and 41-second video helped me understand almost a whole unit omg
My science teacher couldn't even explain this well! Thanks so much 2 minute classroom!
Thank you 2MMC. You did a wonderful job.
You are welcome!
Please keep the genetics videos coming. please explain the signal pathway to raise BP-juxterglomelular apparatus
this guy comes in clutch with every lesson, love your content

I appreciate that! I try to keep it short and sweet.
4 years later, this helped a LOT, thank you
Still relevant 💪
I really like these videos that are short and clear to understand, thanks
I really like your videos! Its more understandable than the others! Keep up the good work and Im really glad that you helped me with my biology studies!
CZcams never recommends educational channels. Thanks for clearing everything within 2 minutes.
Thanks for explaining a 3 hr class in less than 2 minutes !
Very helpful esp. when you have less time to study. It's convenient, isn't time consuming and filled with important lessons. Please continue making these kinds of videos! ^_^

Glad to hear it! And props to you for helping your daughter understand these difficult concepts.
I happened upon your video while searching for a greater understanding of Rh factor; how a person can be Rh positive with a negative antigen that affects pregnancy. Even though I'm still searching for the answer, I do want to thank you for your video. It's easy to understand and, going forward, I do believe it'll be useful in my quest.
thank you so much u helped me pass my test
I just had to watch it for homework but it helped a lot so I subscribed
I'm glad to hear that it helped. Tell you teacher "thank you" for using my videos.

Glad I could help.
Really helpul. Thank you :)
Excellent BLUF (bottom line up front)!
Ah.
Hi. Could you tell me if this phenotype CcDee is the same as CcDDee and CcDdee? Does writting only one letter D means that the second letter is also a D (and not recessive d)? It's very important to me, I hope you will answer!
I literally love u, u saved me wth
Thanks that was really helpful
My final exam grade has been saved. Thank you!
Thanks so much, this really helps
Glad to hear it.
Cheers
Thanks bro I finally understand this...
You are welcome. I'm glad it finally makes sense.
When I say my teacher took two hours to explain this and yet i didn’t understand but this guy said lol watch me and he explained everything in 1:41 minutes ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I'm glad it helped!
thanks for this 💛
I learn more from these videos , than I do in class....
Sad, but i'm glad they help you.
Thanks bro this video explained the topic in a very clear way
Love from India❣️
Awesome!
@@2MC Wow! You are still replying after 3 years!
The best, thank you.
Thanks to clear my doubt
You're welcome ☺️
Thank you for breaking this up in such an easy way! ❤️
I had a doubt too : Generally speaking homozygous and heterozygous alleles are homologous right. We know that non homologous chromosomes can't have homozygous alleles obviously so can we say that non homologous pair of chromosomes are always heterozygous in nature ?
Great video
Thank you so much,you made it easier for me@ :)
You are welcome. I try to simplify it as much as possible.
Thank You so much
No problem
Thank you so much!!!!!
