In monohybrid inheritance, if an organism carries two different alleles for a particular gene, it is called:

A.

Homozygous

B.

Dominant

C.

Heterozygous

D.

Recessive

Correct answer is C

In monohybrid inheritance, the inheritance of a single gene is considered. An organism that carries two different alleles for a particular gene is referred to as heterozygous. The alleles may have different versions or variations of the gene. Heterozygous individuals carry two different alleles, with one being dominant and the other recessive.
