It is a genetic similarity between two organisms.

∙ 14y agoIn a zygote there are two genes for every character. One part of the gene is dominant and the other is recessive. If the dominant and recessive genes for every character are the same the resultant is called a homozygote, (hence homozygotic). Compare to heterozygote/heterozygotic.

∙ 8y agoAn individual who is homozygous carries two copies of the same allele for a gene. Both alleles for a trait are the same in an individual. It may be two copies of blue eyes, or two copies of brown hair.

Why are homo and heterogeneous mixtures different?
There is no such thing as a homozygous mixture but homozygous is having identical pairs of genes for any given pair of hereditary characteristics. A heterogeneous mixture is where the substance is not evenly mixed, and a homogeneous mixture is where the two or more substances are evenly mixed molecularly but not bonded together.
A trait that is masked by a dominant trait is called?
DNAactually it is not DNA at all, a dominant trait, masks a recessive trait.
What are the individual ions in iron II sulfate?
The individual ions in FeSO4 (Iron II sulfate) are Fe2+ and SO42-.
What is the oxidation state of an individual sulfur atom in BaSo4?
The oxidation state of an individual sulfur atom in BaSo4 is +6.
What is the oxidation state of an individual sulfur atom in MgSO4?
The oxidation state of an individual sulfur atom in MgSO4 is +6.
What is the probaility that the offspring of a homozygous dominant individual and a homozygous recessive individual will exhibit the dominant phenotype?
100 percent.
What is the difference between a homozygous dominant homozygous recessive and heterozygous individual?
They are the same
What is the percentage of offspring that will exhibit the dominant trait from A crossing of A homozygous dominant and homozygous recessive individual?
The homozygous dominant individual can only pass on the dominant allele and the homozygous recessive individual can only pass on the recessive allele, therefore all offspring will be heterozygous and have the dominant phenotype.
An individual with two identical alleles of a gene is?
An organism that has two identical alleles for a trait is known as a homozygote or a homozygous organism.
Is CC a homozygous genotype?
Yes. CC would be homozygous dominant, cc homozygous recessive and Cc would be a heterozygous individual.
If an individual has the copies of a trait the same what is it called?
Homozygous
When both alleles of gene are different what is individual?
homozygous
When both allele of the gene are the same what is the individual?
homozygous
When both alleles of genes are the same what is the individual?
homozygous
What is the probability that an individual heterozygous for a cleft chin and individual homozygous for chin without cleft will produce offsprings that are homozygous recessive for chin without cleft?
The probability that an individual heterozygous for a cleft chin and an individual homozygous for a chin without a cleft will produce offspring that are homozygous recessive for a chin without a cleft is fifty percent. You can calculate this by making a Punnet square.
If an individual has two ressesive alleles for the same trait the individual is said to be what?
Homozygous recessive
What is having 2 sets of identical genes?
This individual is Homozygous.
