When the two haploid gametes contain two different alleles of a given gene the resulting offspring is called?
A heterozygote. An organism with the same alleles at a locus is called a "homozygot".
How many alleles does an offspring inherit?
An offspring inherits two alleles for each gene, one from each parent. These alleles can be the same (homozygous) or different (heterozygous).
Scientists call an organism that has two different alleles for a trait is what?
an organism that has two different alleles for a trait is heterozygous
If one parent has two dominant alleles and another parent has two recessive alleles the offspring will have?
One copy of each allele, resulting in the offspring having one dominant allele and one recessive allele. This combination is known as heterozygous.
In fruit gray body color is dominant over black body color suppose that a gray fruit fly heterozygous for the alleles for body color is crossed with one that has a black body what percentage of the?
In this case, when a gray fruit fly heterozygous for the alleles for body color is crossed with one that has a black body, all offspring will have a 50% chance of inheriting the gray body color and a 50% chance of inheriting the black body color. This is due to the fact that the gray body color allele is dominant and the black body color allele is recessive.
How is sickle cell alleles maintained through natural selection?
Heterozygous induviduals pass the dominant and recessive alleles to offspring
When the two haploid gametes contain two different alleles of a given gene the resulting offspring is called?
A heterozygote. An organism with the same alleles at a locus is called a "homozygot".
How many alleles does an offspring inherit?
An offspring inherits two alleles for each gene, one from each parent. These alleles can be the same (homozygous) or different (heterozygous).
What crosses will only produce heterozygous offspring?
A cross between two individuals that are homozygous for different alleles will only produce heterozygous offspring. This is because each parent can only donate one type of allele, resulting in all offspring being heterozygous for that particular gene.
How is the sickle allele maintained through natural selection?
Heterozygous individuals pass the dominant and recessive alleles to offspring.
How is the sickle cell maintained through natural selection?
Heterozygous individuals pass the dominant and recessive alleles to offspring.
Which describes the mating of organisms that have different homozygous alleles for a single trait?
When organisms with different homozygous alleles for a single trait mate, they produce offspring that are heterozygous for that trait. For example, if one parent has homozygous dominant alleles (AA) and the other has homozygous recessive alleles (aa), all offspring will be heterozygous (Aa). This can lead to the dominant trait being expressed in the offspring, while the recessive trait remains masked. The genetic variation introduced can significantly influence traits in future generations.
Having non identical alleles are called?
Having non-identical alleles at a particular gene locus is known as being heterozygous. In a heterozygous individual, each allele is different, one inherited from each parent. This genetic diversity can lead to a variety of traits and characteristics in offspring.
What If parents supplied different alleles for a certain trait to their offspring terms would be used to describe the offspring?
If parents supply different alleles for a certain trait to their offspring, the offspring are described as heterozygous for that trait. This means they possess two different alleles, one inherited from each parent. In contrast, if the offspring received the same allele from both parents, they would be termed homozygous for that trait. The expression of the trait may depend on whether the alleles are dominant or recessive.
Scientists call an organism that has two different alleles for a trait is what?
an organism that has two different alleles for a trait is heterozygous
What is an offspring of crosses that has 2 different alleles for a trait?
An offspring that has two different alleles for a trait is referred to as heterozygous. This means that one allele is inherited from one parent and a different allele is inherited from the other parent. For example, if one parent contributes an allele for brown eyes and the other contributes an allele for blue eyes, the offspring would be heterozygous for eye color. Heterozygous individuals may exhibit a dominant trait if one allele masks the expression of the other.
If one parent has two dominant alleles and another parent has two recessive alleles the offspring will have?
One copy of each allele, resulting in the offspring having one dominant allele and one recessive allele. This combination is known as heterozygous.
