When both alleles of genes are the same what is the individual?
homozygous
When an individual have two identical alleles for the same trait it is called?
Having two similar alleles for a trait is called being homozygous. It is possible to be homozygous for a dominant or recessive trait.
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
How do you describe homozygous and heterozygous individuals?
Homozygous is a term used to describe an organism that has two of the same alleles for a trait. If a person's alleles for eye color are BB (dominant dominant) or bb (recessive recessive), they are homozygous.
Two different forms of the same gene are called?
Alleles
When both alleles of genes are the same what is the individual?
homozygous
Different or alternative forms of the same gene are called?
Alleles are alternate forms of the same gene. A gene is the basic physical unit of heredity that is passed on from a parent to their children.
If an individual has two ressesive alleles for the same trait the individual is said to be what?
Homozygous recessive
How many alleles for one trait are normally found in the genotype of an organism?
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.
What are pure alleles?
Alleles come in pairs. Organisms inherit one allele from each parent organism with sexual reproduction. If the alleles are the same, they could be said to be pure alleles. The science term is monozygous.
Why you called co-dominance when a person possess two different alleles at the same locus and both alleles are expressed in the phenotype?
Both of the parent's alleles are either dominant or recessive.
Is AA an homozygous or an heterozygous?
AA could be either homozygous or heterozygous, depending on whether the individual inherited the same allele (A) from both parents (homozygous) or different alleles (Aa) from each parent (heterozygous).
For a gene that has multiple alleles more than 2 what is the maximum number of different allels a normal individual can have?
2. Even though there are multiple alleles for the same characteristic in the general population, an individual can only have two.
Which form of selective breeding crosses parent with the same or similar sets of alleles?
Inbreeding
Does a single pair of alleles always determine an individual trait?
No, often many other alleles will also determine the same trait. For example, many alleles put together will determine a person's skin color.
What term describes a pair of alleles that are the same?
Alleles that are the same = homozygous Alleles that are different = heterozygous
What is the difference between a homozygous individual and a heterozygous individual?
In genetics, homozygous genes are identical alleles, while heterozygous genes have different alleles. For example, TT(same alleles) is homozygous genotype, while Tt (different alleles) is a heterozygous genotype.
