When the alleles of a gene pair are different they are said to be what?
They are considered to be heterozygous not heterosexual!
If you have two copies of the same allele are considered to be for that traits whereas if you have two different alleles you are considered to be for that trait?
homozygous, heterozygous
What is harmful or helpful is considered to be the source for new alleles and a contributor to the diversity of life on earth?
Translation is the wrong answer, the answer is Mutation.
Two different forms of the same gene are called?
Alleles
The number of alleles of a certain type divided by the total number of alleles is what?
Alleles Frequency
What is gene pair consists of two dominant alleles or two recessive alleles?
A gene pair that consists of 2 dominant or 2 recessive alleles is considered homozygous dominant or homozygous recessive.

What role do alleles play in the determination of characteristics?
Alleles can be considered as alternative (or "rival") forms of the same general trait. For instance, if we consider eye-color as the product of a single gene (which it isn't), then there exist "blue", "brown", "green" and "grey" alleles for that gene. The eye-color a person ultimately gets is determined by what alleles are inherited by that person from its parents, and how those alleles interact (eg. whether either or both alleles are dominant or recessive, etc).
Can a child be O positive if father is b positive and mother is a negative?
Yes. Blood type is determined by two alleles. A person with alleles AA or AO is considered type A, and a person with alleles BB or BO is considered type B. If the parents are AO and BO, they could both pass the O on to their child who would then be OO, type O.
Phenotype of universal donor?
A patient with O negative blood is considered the universal donor. This phenotype is associated with just one genotype; both alleles must be "O" and both alleles must be negative.
What type of alleles mask recessive alleles?
Dominant alleles :-)
What is harmful or helpful is considered to be the source for new alleles and a contributor to the diversity of life on earth?
Translation is the wrong answer, the answer is Mutation.
What are the multiple forms of genes called?
Alleles are genes that exist in multiple forms.
What term describes a pair of alleles that are the same?
Alleles that are the same = homozygous Alleles that are different = heterozygous
What is harmful or helpful is considered to be the source for new alleles and a main contributor to the diversity of life on Earth.?
Translation is the wrong answer, the answer is Mutation.
Two different forms of the same gene are called?
