You have 2 alleles for each trait you may have. One is on the chromosome from you mother, the other is on the other chromosome from your father. You have 2 of each of our 23 chromosomes (one from mom, one from dad). This is why you look a little or a lot like your parents.

∙ 11y agoA gene for any given trait will have loci on both of the
homologous chromosomes
, so there are only two options for the
alleles
(although these can be alike, or homozygous, or different, heterozygous). It doesn't matter how many alleles exist for that gene, there are only two "spaces" where it can exist.

What name is given to different forms of same gene?
Alleles
Different versions of the same gene are called?
Different versions of the same gene are called
What organisms is heterzygous?
A heterozygous organism has two different alleles for a given gene. The opposite of a heterozygous organism is a homozygous organism which has two alleles that are the same for that specific gene. Genes can exist in more than one form and the different forms are called alleles. Alleles code for different types of the same characteristic
What is genotype Cc?
The entire genetic identity of an individual including alleles or gene forms that do not show as outward characteristics.
An what is a different version of the same gene?
The different molecular versions of the same gene are called alleles.
When alleles of a gene are different what is the individual?
heterozygous
When both alleles of gene are different what is individual?
homozygous
When both of the alleles of a gene are different what is the individual?
heterozygous
What are the different forms of a gene for any given trust?
alleles
What name is given to different forms of same gene?
Alleles
Are alleles recessive?
Alleles can be either dominant or recessive. They can be identical or different for any given gene in a somatic cell, and can represent alternative forms of a gene.
True or false even though a gene has multiple alleles a person can carry only two of those alleles?
True
What are different versions of the same gene called?
The chromosomes in a pair carry the same genes in the same places. There are different versions of the same gene. These different versions of the same gene are called alleles.
It an organism has two alleles that are different then the individual is?
heterozygous for that specific gene.
The blood type trait which is controlled by more than two alleles for a given gene and therefore is called?
multiple alleles
What is the number of alleles in a gene?
An allele of a gene resides on a chromosome; as there are typically two chromosomal copies in an individual Cell, there are typically two alleles of each and every gene in the individuals genome, or its genetic complement.
What do you call a person who has one dominant and one recessive copy of a gene?
We call a gene that has two different alleles heterozygous.
