An organism that is heterozygous for two traits means that it contains both the dominant allele and the recessive allele for both of the traits in question. For example, take a plant that produces peas. The gene that produces yellow seeds (denoted Y) is dominant, the gene for green seeds (y) is recessive. The gene that produces round seeds is dominant (R), the gene for wrinkled seeds (r) is recessive. So if this organism was heterozygous for both traits its genotype would be:
Yy/ Rr
Which means it has the allele for yellow seeds and the allele for green seeds (trait one), and also has the allele for round seeds and the allele for wrinkled seeds (trait two). Its phenotype (the traits it displays) will be yellow round seeds, as these are the dominant traits.

Organism possessing two identical genes for a trait is said to be?
An organism that has two different alleles of the same gene is a heterozygous organism. Due to the various effects of different alleles, an organism's traits do not reveal its genetic composition.
What is an organism with one dominant and one recessive gene for a trait?
that organism is a heterozygous one which contain the traits of recessive as well as dominant genes.
What are traits that are hidden called?
Recessive traits can be hidden if the organism inherits one dominant and one recessive allele (i.e. is heterozygous) for a gene. If a heterozygous organism mates with another heterozygous organism for the same trait, the recessive trait may be expressed in their offspring, which would mean that the offspring inherited two recessive alleles, one from each parent.
Scientists call an organism that has two different alleles for a trait is what?

What is an organism with 2 alleles for 1 trait that are different?
