Heterozygous means that it carries both dominant and recessive traits (as opposed to homozygous which carries only one) - the dominant trait is the one which is expressed (phenotype).
A heterozygous trait can be expressed as Rr - "R" the dominant trait and "r" the recessive trait.

When both alleles of a gene are different what is the indivisual?
If one allel is dominant and the other is reccesive then the individual is said to be heterozygous. Sorry about the spelling.
How is a recessive alle different from a dominant allele?
its different because adominant allele is in charge
If the sickle cell trait were a dominant trait rather than a recessive one could it still be balanced polymorphism?
the polymorphism is only balanced when the dominate trait is recessive in the cell which came from the daughter cell after division, hence the dominate characteristics.
What do F1 in genetics?
Genotype is a same gene type that is carried by a parent to offspring. Phenotype is appearance, lets say a parent has big ears and the child inherit the big ears.
How Do recessive and dominant alleles get filled into a punnet square?
here is an example: key: dark hair - H (dominant) light hair - h (recessive) father: Hh mother: hh father's alleles: H & h mother's alleles: all h punnet square: father's __H____l____h_____ Mothers: h l Hh l hh The father's dominant H allele combines with the mother's h allele produces Hh The father's reccesive h allele combins with the mother's h allele produces hh therefore the possible combinations of alleles are Hh and hh. 1/2 of their children will have dark hair and 1/2 of their children will have light hair

What is a heterozygous indivisual who doesnt show a reccesive genetic disorder but who can pass a reccesive allele on to their offspring is called what?
Almost 100% sure that they're called carriers.
What is a purebread organism?
I think that the organism is reccesive that's why it's called a purebread!!!!!!!

the polymorphism is only balanced when the dominate trait is recessive in the cell which came from the daughter cell after division, hence the dominate characteristics.
What are recess?
There are two types of traits, recessive and dominant. One is more likely to appear in a following generation than the other. Say, one person with black hair is partners to someone with red hair. Black hair is a more dominant trait than red. Their kids will more likely have black, in following generations though you can still have someone with red hair pop up down the line because the gene is always there and because of its recessive nature it can go generations without coming up again. a reccesive trait is like; if your mom had blue eyes and your dad had brown eyes, you would probably have brown eyes because blue eyes is a reccesive trait
What is a kind of trait that seemed tio vanish in the offspring produced in mendels first experiment?
reccesive

What is an example of a reccesive gene?
In humans, the gene that codes for the enzyme phenylalanine hydroxylase is an expmple of a recessive gene
What does reccesive trait mean?
A recessive trait is one that will only be expressed when in the presence of two recessive alleles.
Dominant and recessive genes?
Dominant genes are shown for example as T recessive genes are shown as t if there is a dominant and recessive gene (Tt) then your child will get the dominant one this is called heterozygous. Meaning that they have two different genes for a trait such as curly hair and straight hair. There is also being homozygous (TT or tt) the only way your child could recieve a recessive gene such as left handednes, is if the two parents were carrying a recessive gene along with their dominant one or if they both were carrying two reccesive genes. the childs probable genotype can be explaind a lot better with a Punnet Square. I hope this wasn't too confusing.:-)
What is a reccesive gene?
an allele that is not expressed when paired with a dominant allele. Only expressed when paired with another recessive allele.
