What is a heterzygous individual?
What else can I help you with?
An individual heterozygous for cystic fibrosis?
Is a carrier of cystic fibrosis
What is the genotype of a carrier?
Rr heterozygous
What is a heterozygous person called?
A heterozygous person is called a carrier for the specific trait or gene they carry. This means they have two different alleles for a particular gene, with one dominant and one recessive allele. It is important to note that being heterozygous for a genetic disorder does not necessarily mean the individual will exhibit symptoms of the disorder.
Why is the genotype heterozygous also known as a hybrid or carrier?
A genotype that is heterozygous means an individual has two different alleles for a particular gene. This can result in a mix of traits or characteristics, earning the term "hybrid" from the blending of genetic information. In cases where one allele is dominant and the other recessive, the individual may not exhibit the recessive trait but can pass it on to offspring, hence being referred to as a "carrier."
What is A herterozygous individual who has one allele for a disease but is not affected by it?
A heterozygous individual who has one allele for a disease but is not affected by it is considered a carrier. Carriers can pass the disease allele to their offspring but do not exhibit the symptoms themselves. This is common in genetic disorders that follow a recessive inheritance pattern.
Is a carrier homozygous or heterozygous?
No, because he or she cannot pass the gene on to his or her offspring (because he or she does not have a copy of the gene).
What is an organism that is heterozygous for a harmful trait?
An example of an organism that is heterozygous for a harmful trait is a carrier of a genetic disease like sickle cell anemia. In this case, the individual has one copy of the normal allele and one copy of the disease-causing allele, which can lead to the manifestation of the disease in offspring if they inherit two copies of the harmful allele.
What is the genotype of individual who is heterozygous for dimples?
Dd is the heterozygous genotype for dimples.
What kind alleles does a heterozygous individual have?
a heterozygous individual has different alleles because one is dominant but the other is recessive.
It an organism has two alleles that are different then the individual is?
heterozygous.
Why can a female be a carrier of a sex linked genetic disorder?
When a female is heterozygous i.e. she possess one allele of disease , she is called carrier .
What genetic disorder can be beneficial in its heterozygous form?
Sickle Cell Anemia, in it's heterozygous form it does not present as the disease and it gives the carrier resistance to malaria.
