"description": "The level of occurrence of a single DNA Sequence Variation. Heterozygous:Variation present in one of the two genes of homologous chromosomes, while Homozygous means that it is present in both genes. Hemizygous: Variation exists in the only single copy of a gene in a non-homologous chromosome (i.e. male X and Y chromosome). Hemiplasmic indicates that the DNA Sequence Variation is present in some but not all of the copies of mitochondrial DNA. Homoplasmic: Variation is present in all of the copies of mitochondrial DNA.
