What word describes an organism that has the genotype Bb?

The most accurate description of an organism with genotype AaBb is heterozygous. A homozygous genotype is aaBB and AA.


What is the phenotype of a heterozygous individual what is the genotype of a heterozygous individual?

Bb The phenotype is what the individual looks like. The genotype is the genetic material at the site that can be passed on even if it isn't expressed. For example: Animal with black hair bb (can only pass the black characteristic on to it's offspring because it is homozygous recessive). It is phenotypically black. An animal with red hair can be Bb or BB. Bb is heterozygous and the animal is phenotypically red. BB is homozygous dominant for red and the animal is phenotypically red. More information than requested but an explanation none the less.


Diffrence between homozygous and heterozygous?

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 is the heterozygous for the A allele?

Heterozygous Aa Homozygous AA, aa


What is the differences between homozygous dominant and homozygous recessive and heterozygous?

A homozygous dominant genotype means that both alleles for a trait are dominant. A heterozygous genotype means that one allele is dominant and the other is recessive. A heterozygous genotype will express the dominant phenotype, not the recessive phenotype.

Is heterozygous Bb or BB?

It's heterozygous. Heterozygous is when there is a big letter and a little letter, like Bb. Homozygous is when both letters are the same size, like BB or bb.

Is a plant with the genotype AABbcc heterozygous for two different genes?

No, because it has the AA and the CC those are homozygous. The Bb is the only heterozygous trait, and there is only 1.

Yes - Hh is heterozygous. HH is homozygous, and hh is homozygous.

Is the genotype Cc homozygous or heterozygous?

Homozygous = identical allelesHeterozygous = different allelesEven though the genotype has two of the same letter, the difference in capitalization signifies they are different.Thus, Cc is heterozygous


Is genotype a homozygous?

It may be homozygous or heterozygous depending upon its mode of pollination and fertilization.
