zygosity [zi-gos´ĭ-te] the condition relating to conjugation, or to the zygote, such as (a) the state of a cell or individual in regard to the alleles determining a specific character, whether identical (homozygosity) or different (heterozygosity); or (b) in the case of twins, whether developing from one zygote (monozygotic" >monozygotic twins) or two zygotes (dizygotic twins).zy·gos·i·ty (zī-gos'i-tē), The nature of the zygotes from which individuals are derived; for example, whether by separation of the division of one zygote (monozygotic), in which case they will be genetically identical, or from two separate zygotes (dizygotic).zygosity (zī-gŏs′ĭ-tē)n.
