What is a characteristic that is passed down from a parent to its offspring?
Dumb question, im in 11th grade and I know that's a dumb question. Just about everything can be passed down. Height is a gene, eye color is a gene..the list goes on. No offence but you kind of fail at science, I learned this in 6th grade.
What is the other name of living things?
They are called organisms, also biotic creatures.
What life process enables organism to react to changes in their surroundings?
Adaptation
What is an organism like a green plant that can make its own food?
An organism that can make its own food is an Autotroph.
What is the name of a single celled organism?
AmoebaA single-celled organism is also called a unicellular organism._________________More Detailed:_________________Not only the single celled organisms from the family Amoeba, but also bacterium are single celled or unicellular.
Organisms with two different alleles for a trait?
The organism that has two different alleles for the same trait is called heterozygous. This also refers to a cell or an individual that has two different forms of gene.
What is a heritable trait becoming common in a population?
If the mutation causes a characteristic that is carried as a dominate trait, then it can spread through a population. Also, if the characteristic that is brought about by the mutation is beneficial, the organism will be better suited to its environment than others. If the organism passes this trait to its offspring, then it is understood that they should survive in a greater ratio than those without the trait and the trait becomes common.
A favorable trait is called an?
A favorable trait is called a dominant trait. In scientific terms it can also be called a acquired trait/adapted train. Lastly, the reproach of a favorable trait is inherited and not a gained train according to George Mandel (which is proven correct unlike Locke).
A single celled organism is also called a what?
unicellular organism
A single cell organism is also called?
A single celled organism is called unicellular.
Field theorist are also called as?
Trait Theorists
What is it called when a trait that is not seen when a dominant gene is paired with a recessive gene?
Heterozygous dominant. Could also be called a masked trait.
An organism that has two identical alleles for a trait?
Are known as homozygous. Homozygous individuals can also be called 'purebred'. Organisms with two different alleles are known as heterozygous.
When will a recessive trait show its effect?
A recessive trait will be expressed when there is no dominant allele in the genotype for that trait. In a Mendelian trait, where one gene with one dominant and one recessive allele governs a trait, a recessive trait will be expressed when the individual's genotype for that trait is homozygous recessive, meaning that both of the individual's alleles for that trait are recessive.
Which term refers to the genetic makeup of an organism?
The genetic makeup of an organism refers to the set of genes responsible for a particular trait. The genetic makeup of an organism is also referred to as the genotype. Genetic makeup of an organism decides the phenotype or expression of information within the genes. Examples of genetic makeup of an organism - gene responsible for eye color gene responsible for hair color gene responsible for how your voice sounds gene responsible for a bird's beak Difference between the genotype and phenotype of an organism Genotype refers to the set of genes that has the information for a particular trait whereas the phenotype is the physical expression of that particular trait.
What is two dominant alleles called?
In eyes, it would be brown is dominant, and blue is recessive. Free earlobe allele is said to be dominant over the attached earlobe allele. When an organism has two dominant alleles for a trait, it is called homozygous dominant. Two recessive alleles for a trait is homozygous recessive.
