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.
Homozygous are alleles paired together for a specific trait and are identical.
When identical: homozygous. when different: heterozygous.
When the alleles are identical, the individual is homozygous for that trait. While if the pair is made of two different alleles.
Genetic makeup formed from both inherited alleles together is called a genotype. Homozygous alleles would be a pair of identical alleles for a single trait. Heterozygous is different alleles for a single trait.
Alleles that are the same = homozygous Alleles that are different = heterozygous
Homozygous means that both alleles for a gene are the same, designated by two identical letters, such as RR (dominant) or rr (recessive). Heterozygous means that both alleles for a gene are different, designated by two different alleles, such as Rr.
When identical: homozygous. when different: heterozygous.
When the alleles are identical, the individual is homozygous for that trait. While if the pair is made of two different alleles.
Genetic makeup formed from both inherited alleles together is called a genotype. Homozygous alleles would be a pair of identical alleles for a single trait. Heterozygous is different alleles for a single trait.
Heterozygous
Genetic makeup formed from both inherited alleles together is called a genotype. Homozygous alleles would be a pair of identical alleles for a single trait. Heterozygous is different alleles for a single trait.
Alleles that are the same = homozygous Alleles that are different = heterozygous
heterozygous
2 different alelles - heterozygous Same alelles - homozygous
having non identical alleles r called dne mix ups. i hope this helped u!! good luck!
Heterozygous
They are known as a heterozygous pair
They are considered to be heterozygous not heterosexual!
