Having two similar alleles for a trait is called being homozygous. It is possible to be homozygous for a dominant or recessive trait.
Homozygous.
2 different alelles - heterozygous Same alelles - homozygous
A heterozygote is an organism with two different alleles for a trait.
It sounds like you are referring to homozygous vs heterozygous. If an organism has two identical alleles of the same gene, it is said to be homozygous. If an organism has two different alleles of the same gene, it is said to be heterozygous.If a homozygous organism has two identical dominantalleles, it is said to be homozygous dominant, while an organism with two identical recessive alleles is said to be homozygous recessive.If this was not what you're asking, please clarify your question on the discussion page so someone can Terms_that_describe_two_alleles_of_the_same_genethis answer.
When the alleles present for a trait are the same, it is called Homozygous
Yes, that is correct. Each trait is controlled by genes, and genes exist in different forms called alleles. For any given trait, an individual can have two allelesβone inherited from their mother and one from their father. These alleles can have different variations, resulting in different expression of the trait.
There is no particular relationship between organisms that have identical alleles for a particular trait.
When the alleles are identical, the individual is homozygous for that trait. While if the pair is made of two different alleles.
Homologous pairs
2 different alelles - heterozygous Same alelles - homozygous
Genetic makeup formed from both inherited alleles together is called a genotype. Homozygous alleles would be a pair of identical alleles for a single trait. Heterozygous is different alleles for a single trait.
An organism that has two identical alleles for a trait is known as a homozygote or a homozygous organism.
Organisms that have two identical alleles for a particular trait are said to be? homozygous
Genetic makeup formed from both inherited alleles together is called a genotype. Homozygous alleles would be a pair of identical alleles for a single trait. Heterozygous is different alleles for a single trait.
The alleles for a given trait are inherited from an individual's parents.
The alleles for a given trait are inherited from an individual's parents.
The alleles for a given trait are inherited from an individual's parents.
An organism has two alleles for one trait. If the two alleles are the same, the individual is homozygous for that trait, and if they are different, the individual is heterozygous.
