What else can I help you with?
When the alleles of a gene pair are different they are said to be what?
They are considered to be heterozygous not heterosexual!
What is The different forms of a trait that make up a gene pair?
alleles
What do you call one gene from a pair?
One gene from a pair is called an "allele." Alleles are variants of a gene that can result in different traits or characteristics. Each individual inherits two alleles for each gene, one from each parent, and these can be either the same (homozygous) or different (heterozygous).
Is A heterozygous pair of alleles is identical?
When there are heterozygous alleles for a gene thy code for a different expression of the gene. For example, the gene to taste PTC paper is a single gene trait. A person will have two copies (or alleles) for that gene (one from their mothers DNA, one from their father). There are two possible expressions for this gene - either you can taste the chemical or you cannot. When one allele is for tasting, and the other for not tasting, this is known as heterozygous. Both alleles are relating to the same gene but they giving different instructions and are thus not identical. When this happens, the dominant gene wins - in this case tasting is expressed. If the alleles are identical, they are known as homozygous and they are identical.
What are a pair of genes that are identical called?
A pair of genes that are identical are called alleles. Alleles are different forms of the same gene that occupy the same position on homologous chromosomes.
What are different versions of the same gene called?
Different versions of the same gene are called alleles. Alleles can differ in their DNA sequence, resulting in variations in the traits they encode for. These variations can lead to differences in an organism's phenotype.
What is the relationship between genes and alleles?
The gene loci are the sites where the alleles reside on the DNA strand. Alleles at the same gene locus on each chromosome pair will determine the phenotypic expression of that gene pair. Of course this explanation is incomplete when more complex interactions between alleles come into play
Different versions of the same gene are called?
Different versions of the same gene are called
What is allelic pair?
a combination of two alleles which comprise the gene pair
What is the gene pair consit of dominant alleles or to two recessive alleles?
homozygous
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 do you call one gene of a pair for a SPECIFIC trait is called?
Having two different alleles is said to be....?-Heterozygous
