Chromosomes that look alike and carry genes for the same trait are called homologous chromosomes. The nucleus contains these chromosomes.

Genes which are linked together to produce a particular trait?
They are located on one chromosome.
What is a term for a gene pair dictating trait?
its a allele
If two chromosomes have the same genes for the same trait they are said to be?
Genes on the same chromosome are said to be linked
What is a section of DNA that code for a trait?
A section of chromosomes that codes for a trait can be called
A segment of DNA on a chromosome that codes for a specific trait?
Gene. Genes come in all different lengths of nucleotides and sometimes multiple genes code for one hereditary trait, as in polygenic inheritance.
What is name of the two genes one on each chromosome of a pair that control the same trait are called?
They are called alleles. Each allele is a different form of the gene, and they can be dominant or recessive.
What is an organism that has genes that are alike for a particular trait called?
hybrid

What do you call chromosomes that have the same length and carry genes for the same trait?
It is Homologous chromosomes because they carry thesame genes and homones.
If two chromosomes have the same genes for the same trait they are said to be?
Genes on the same chromosome are said to be linked
What type of chromosome always carry gene for the same trait at the same location on both chromosome?
homologous chromosomes
Which trait will a male exhibit if he carries a recessive allele on the X chromosome?
A male carrying a recessive allele on the X chromosome will exhibit the recessive trait. This is because the Y chromosome generally does not have matching genes for the X chromosome, unlike the other 22 pairs if chromosomes in the nucleus.
What is a section of DNA that code for a trait?
A section of chromosomes that codes for a trait can be called
A characteristic of an organism that is determined by many genes?
The terms used to describe a number of genes on separate loci on the same chromosome (or another chromosome) which together determine a single phenotypic trait are polygene, multiple factor, multiple gene inheritance or quantitative gene.
Are recessive traits inherited?
A recessive trait can only be passed along if both parents carry at least one of the recessive genes to the child. If both parents manifest the trait (that is, if both parents have both recessive genes), then the child will manifest (that is, carry both recessive genes and display) the recessive trait. If one parent manifests and the other parent only carries the trait (that is, carries one dominant and one recessive gene) then the child will definitely carry and have a 50% chance of manifesting. If both parents carry the recessive, the child is 25% likely not to carry the trait at all, 50% likely to carry and 25% likely to manifest the trait.
