Are organisms with alleles BB recessive or dominant?
An organism with the alleles BB would be homozygous dominant.
Is Ee a heterzygous or homozygous?
It would be heterozygous because the two alleles are different (one dominant and one recessive). EE would be homozygous dominant and ee would be homozygous recessive.
What is it called when an organism that has two alleles that are the same?
the organism that have two identical alleles would be called homozygous for that particular gene.
What is the difference between homozygous and heterozygous?
Heterozygous is when the organism has two different alleles for a traitHomozygous is when they have two of the same the sameexample of homozygous= two blue eyesexample of heterozygous= one blue eye and one green eyeHomozygous is when the combination of alleles are the same. EX: AA or BB. Heterozygous are when the combination of alleles are different. EX: Aa or Bb.
Another plant is said to be heterozygous for flower color what does this mean?
homozygous means that the alleles that make up the genotype are the same, for example homozygous dominant would have two dominant alleles (RR) or homozygous recessive would have two recessive alleles (rr). the alternative would be heterozygous, where the genotype contains both a dominant and a recessive allele (Rr). so a homozygous plant would either have two dominant alleles or two recessive alleles for the seed colour. Now the way to find out whether it is homozygous dominant or homozygous recessive is to do a cross with a homozygous recessive plant and look at the seed colour (the phenotype). if the the original genotype is homozygous dominant the offspring seed colour will show the dominant seed colour becasue it will be heterozygous. But if the original plant is homozygous recessive the offspring will show the recessive phenotype.
Are organisms with alleles BB recessive or dominant?
An organism with the alleles BB would be homozygous dominant.
What is two dominant alleles called?
In eyes, it would be brown is dominant, and blue is recessive. Free earlobe allele is said to be dominant over the attached earlobe allele. When an organism has two dominant alleles for a trait, it is called homozygous dominant. Two recessive alleles for a trait is homozygous recessive.
Terms that describe two alleles of the same gene?
It sounds like you are referring to homozygous vs heterozygous. If an organism has two identical alleles of the same gene, it is said to be homozygous. If an organism has two different alleles of the same gene, it is said to be heterozygous.If a homozygous organism has two identical dominantalleles, it is said to be homozygous dominant, while an organism with two identical recessive alleles is said to be homozygous recessive.If this was not what you're asking, please clarify your question on the discussion page so someone can improve this answer.

What is the difference between homozygous and heterozygous organism?
it's to do with genes, a homozygous organism has two alleles that are the same, whereas a heterozygous organism will have two different alleles. eg, on a chromosome for eye colour, a homozygous example would have both alleles for say, blue eyes. a heterozygous example would have an allele for blue and an allele for brown, where brown would be dominant, reccesive, or cooperative.
What is the opposite of homozygous of dominant?
heterozygous recessive
What describes an organism that has the genotypes Bb?
Heterozygous, because it has one dominant allele (B) and one recessive allele (b). An organism with two identical alleles (such as BB or bb) would be homozygous.
How do you represent alleles?
Alleles are represented as: Gg Where G is the dominant trait and g is the recessive trait Therefore, homozygous dominant would be: GG Homozygous recessive would be: gg and heterozygous would be Gg

Is AA a homozygous genotype?
homozygous = AA & AA Heterozygous = Aa
