What is the term that identifies the genes present in an organism?
the genes can be called inheritable genes..
When the alleles present for a trait are the same. the genes are called?
When the alleles present for a trait are the same, it is called Homozygous
What combined alleles of all the individuals in a population called?
We call these genes the genome.
Explain how the inheritance of traits is controlled in organisms Use the term genes and alleles in you explanation?
The most dominant traits are the ones that control organisms genes.
Combinations of alleles are know as a genotype?
Genotype is the set of all genes present in the nucleus of a somatic cell. Alleles are segments of DNA containing multiple genes

What organisms with two alleles are called?
Genes
When the alleles present for a trait are the same. the genes are called?
When the alleles present for a trait are the same, it is called Homozygous
Is the genome of a living system equal to its genotype?
No; the genome is all of the possible genes and what they do/affect. The genotype is a simple description of which two alleles an organism has for a particular gene.
What combined alleles of all the individuals in a population called?
We call these genes the genome.
How many genes are present in human body?
There are estimated to be 26000 genes after completing the human genome project.
Explain how the inheritance of traits is controlled in organisms Use the term genes and alleles in you explanation?
The most dominant traits are the ones that control organisms genes.
More than one pair of alleles controls a trait?
It isn't genome the definition of genome is a map of the location of individual genes on every chromosome of an individual. It's multiple alleles- having more than two alleles that control a trait. PS- I got this information from my text book:)
What has two like genes or alleles?
Diploid organisms, like humans, have two alternate like alleles for every gene.
Combinations of alleles are know as a genotype?
Genotype is the set of all genes present in the nucleus of a somatic cell. Alleles are segments of DNA containing multiple genes
What is the complete set genes of an individual?
genome
What is it called when an organism has genes that are different for a trait?
Well every gene in the human genome codes for something different. The fact that variety exists is determined by the alleles of that gene. The human genome has over 35,000 genes that all work together to form a persons genotype. Observable features are an organisms phenotype and those are composed of different traits, i.e. eye color, hair color, certain behaviors. All of these are also coded for by specific genes.
