They refer to the alleles in a genotype. For the basics of genetics, we can say that each allele is either dominant or recessive. Dominant is represented by an uppercase letter, and recessive a lowercase. If the genotype is AA, it is homozygous dominant. If it is aa it is homozygous recessive. If it is Aa, it is heterozygous. Simply, homozygous means that both of the alleles are the same and heterozygous means it has one of each allele.
What else can I help you with?
What genotype is Yy homozygous or heterozygous?
Yy is a heterozygous genotype. Homozygous would be YY or yy.
If a test cross between a homozygous recessive and heterozygous allele will yield what percent of offspring as homozygous recessive?
A test cross between a homozygous recessive and a heterozygous individual will yield 50% of offspring as homozygous recessive. This is because all the offspring will inherit one recessive allele from the homozygous recessive parent.
What is the probability of offspring for 2 heterozygous dogs?
There are 3 probabilities: dominant homozygous, recessive homozygous, or heterozygous.
What term defines alleles that are different?
Heterozygous
What is the differences between homozygous dominant and homozygous recessive and heterozygous?
Homozygous dominant individuals have two copies of the dominant allele for a trait, homozygous recessive individuals have two copies of the recessive allele, and heterozygous individuals have one copy of each allele. Homozygous dominant and heterozygous individuals will express the dominant trait, while homozygous recessive individuals will express the recessive trait.
What is the difference between a homozygous dominant homozygous recessive and heterozygous individual?
They are the same
What crosses will only produce heterozygous offspring?
A cross between two individuals that are homozygous for different alleles will only produce heterozygous offspring. This is because each parent can only donate one type of allele, resulting in all offspring being heterozygous for that particular gene.
Is asthma homozygous or heterozygous?
heterozygous
What are the genotype a of a homozygous and a heterozygous tall pea plant?
homozygous- TT; heterozygous- Tt :)
The difference between homozygous and heterozygous?
one is curved one is straight
What genotype is Yy homozygous or heterozygous?
Yy is a heterozygous genotype. Homozygous would be YY or yy.
If a test cross between a homozygous recessive and heterozygous allele will yield what percent of offspring as homozygous recessive?
A test cross between a homozygous recessive and a heterozygous individual will yield 50% of offspring as homozygous recessive. This is because all the offspring will inherit one recessive allele from the homozygous recessive parent.
What genotype could be described as heterozygous?
Yes - Hh is heterozygous. HH is homozygous, and hh is homozygous.
What is the antonym for heterozygous?
Homozygous
1 What is the difference between homozygous and heterozygous?
Homozygous refers to having two identical alleles for a trait, while heterozygous refers to having two different alleles for a trait. In other words, homozygous individuals have either two dominant or two recessive alleles, while heterozygous individuals have one dominant and one recessive allele.
What is the probability of 2 heterozygous individuals producing a heterozygous recessive offspring?
The probability is 50%. There are four probabilities: dominant homozygous, recessive homozygous, or heterozygous.
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).
