When will homozygous gene be expressed?
A cell can be described as being homozygous for a particular gene when there are identical genes on a pair of chromosomes (humans have 23 pairs). Under these conditions, we would see the expression of the gene under the homozygous condition. If the cell had a heterozygous condition, then there would not be identical genes found in the chromosome pair.
What is a heterozygous person called?
Generally a heterozygous person is called a heterozygote. Although, they may also be called a gene carrier.
What is the alternative forms or genetic information for a trait are called?
This is generally the definition of an allele. An allele is an "alternate form of a gene". For each gene there may be many alleles. For example (simplistically) the gene which makes the pigment in your eyes (ie which gives you your eye colour) has a brown, green and blue allele. On each of the two chromosomes (one from your mother and one from your father) you can have either the same allele (homozygous) or a different allele (heterozygous). In the case of a heterozygous gene the dominate allele is expressed. In some cases (co-dominance) both alleles are expressed.
What does does heterozygous mean?
Heterozygous means that you are carrying 1 dominant trait and 1 recessive trait.If an allelic pair has one dominant and other recessive gene it is called heterozygous.
What heterozygous mean?
Heterozygous means that you are carrying 1 dominant trait and 1 recessive trait.If an allelic pair has one dominant and other recessive gene it is called heterozygous.
Individual that has one copy of a expressed gene has a genotype known as?
Heterozygous.
What is hetegeneous?
If you mean heterozygous, it is the condition in which the genotype for a trait contains two different forms, called alleles, of the same gene.

What are the symptoms of heterozygous?
There are not symptoms of heterozygous since it is not a disease or condition that you can get. It is a genetics term that refers to whether a gene is dominant or non dominate.
A condition in which a diploid organism has different allelic forms of a particular gene is the definition of?
Heterozygous
What term is used when both alleles are different?
The condition called in a case when you have a two different types of alleles is called as Heterozygous and when this is exactly the opposite that is when it has the alleles for the same source we describe such a condition as a Homozygous. This two terms are of most importance when you take the genetics
Why would defective recessive alleles be retained in the gene pool?
They don't express in heterozygous condition ,hence remain in gene pool .
What is a cross between different alleles for the same gene called?
heterozygous
What is it called when a trait that is not seen when a dominant gene is paired with a recessive gene?
Heterozygous dominant. Could also be called a masked trait.
What is a gene pair that consists of a dominate allel and a recessive allel?
That is called heterozygous or it is called a hybrid.
What is the gene that is not expressed due to the influence of a dominant gene called?
Purebred
