What is it called when an organism has genes that are different for a trait?

Well every gene in the human genome codes for something different. The fact that variety exists is determined by the alleles of that gene. The human genome has over 35,000 genes that all work together to form a persons genotype. Observable features are an organisms phenotype and those are composed of different traits, i.e. eye color, hair color, certain behaviors. All of these are also coded for by specific genes.

∙ 7y agoNo organism can have just 2 traits and all traits are by definition for different things. Even the simplest organisms have several hundred different traits.
Perhaps you have confused the terms "alleles for a trait" and "traits".
If you meant "an organism with 2 different alleles for a trait" the answer is "heterozygous".

What organism with two unlike genes of a trait is called?
A heterozygous has 2 different alleles for a trait.
What is a trait that is not expressed when an organism receives genes for 2 different forms of a trait?
A trait that is not expressed when another is present is referred to as a recessive trait.
What an organism looks like as a result of its genes is called .?
a phenotype is the physical characteristics of an organism based on its genotype.
What kind of trait is present when many different genes different genes control a single trait such as skin color?
epistasis
For each trait there are allele possibilities?
Yes, that is correct. Each trait is controlled by genes, and genes exist in different forms called alleles. For any given trait, an individual can have two alleles—one inherited from their mother and one from their father. These alleles can have different variations, resulting in different expression of the trait.
What organism with two unlike genes of a trait is called?
A heterozygous has 2 different alleles for a trait.
What is an organism with two genes for a trait called?
An organism with two like alleles for a trait is homozygous for that trait.
What are hetrozgous?
What is heterozygous? Your inherited characteristics are determined by your genes. Zygosity refers to the similarity of genes for a trait in an organism. If both genes are different, the organism is heterozygous (hetero = different) for that trait. If both genes are the same, the organism is homozyous (homo = same).
What is an organism with two different genes for a specific trait?
Heterozygous.
What are the factors that control a trait called?
what do we call factors that control traits
What is an organism that has genes that are alike for a particular trait called?
hybrid
What is a trait that is not expressed when an organism receives genes for 2 different forms of a trait?
A trait that is not expressed when another is present is referred to as a recessive trait.
What are the different formes of genes called?
Alleles are forms of genes for a trait.
What can affect an organism trait?
genes and the environment
are traits of an organism?
A trait is a specific characteristic of an organism. Traits can be determined by genes or the environment, or more commonly by interactions between them. The genetic contribution to a trait is called the genotype. The outward expression of the genotype is called the phenotype.
An organism that has two different alleles for a trait is called?
hybrid
What is an organism called when it has two different alleles for a trait?
A heterozygote
