homozygote 指在遗传学中,一个生物体在特定基因座上拥有两个相同等位基因的个体,通常称为纯合体或同型接合体。

用法要点

句型搭配

homozygote 通常作为名词使用,在句子中作主语或宾语,常见于描述遗传特征或基因型。

• The homozygote shows a recessive trait.
• This organism is a homozygote for the gene.

介词用法

常与介词 for 连用,表示针对特定基因的纯合状态,例如 'homozygote for a gene'。

• homozygote for the allele
• homozygote for the mutation

语域说明

homozygote 是专业术语,主要用于生物学、遗传学等学术领域,日常对话中较少使用。

• In genetics, a homozygote is key to understanding inheritance.
• The term homozygote is common in scientific papers.

基础例句

In our biology class, we learned that a homozygote has two identical alleles for a gene.

在生物课上,我们学到纯合体在某个基因上有两个相同的等位基因。

If both parents are carriers, their child might be a homozygote for the trait.

如果父母都是携带者,他们的孩子可能成为该性状的纯合体。

The plant is a homozygote, so it always produces the same flower color.

这株植物是纯合体,因此总是开出相同颜色的花。

高级例句

The study found that homozygotes for the mutation exhibited increased disease susceptibility in the population.

研究发现,该突变的纯合体在人群中表现出更高的疾病易感性。

In genetic counseling, identifying homozygotes is crucial for assessing inheritance risks.

在遗传咨询中,识别纯合体对于评估遗传风险至关重要。

常见错误

❌ 错误:homozygote means the same as heterozygous.
✓ 正确:homozygote means having two identical alleles, while heterozygous means having two different alleles.

错误地将 homozygote 与 heterozygous 混淆,homozygote 指纯合(等位基因相同),heterozygous 指杂合(等位基因不同),这是遗传学基本概念。

❌ 错误:I am a homozygote for blue eyes.
✓ 正确:I am homozygous for the blue eye gene.

homozygote 是名词,通常指个体或基因型,而 homozygous 是形容词,用于描述状态。正确用法应使用形容词形式来描述基因型。

近义词辨析

homozygous

homozygote 是名词,指纯合个体或基因型;homozygous 是形容词,描述纯合的状态或特征。

The organism is a homozygote (noun), and its genotype is homozygous (adjective) for the trait.

purebred

homozygote 是遗传学术语,特指基因型;purebred 常用于动物育种,指纯种,但可能不涉及具体基因型分析。

A homozygote has identical alleles, while a purebred dog may still have genetic variation.
