What does it mean to be homozygous dominant heterozygous or homozygous recessive?

Homozygous means "same" so a homozygous recessive trait would be a same [with parents] trait that is not the stronger trait which is dominant. Dominant is stronger showing trait, recessive is weaker trait. If you are dealing with Punnett squares then tt is homozygous recessive and TT is homozygous dominant. Hope this helped...


What is an allele that produce a trait in the heterozygous condition is?

homozygous


What does it mean that an organism is homozygous dominant for a trait?

Homozygous Dominant for a trait means that an organism has two dominant alleles for that trait. Here's an example: Trait: Widow's Peak Widow's Peak allele: Dominant (D) No widow's peak allele: Reccessive(d) Homozygous Dominant (DD) Homozygous Reccessive (dd) Heterozygous (Dd)


Is AA a homozygous genotype?

homozygous = AA & AA Heterozygous = Aa


A living thing that shows a dominant trait may be homozygous dominant or homozygous recessive for the trait true or false?

False because a living thing that shows a dominant trait can not be homozygous recessive. If it is homozygous recessive it will show recessive trait. A living thing that shows dominant trait may be homozygous dominant or hetrozygous.


A genotype consisting of two identical alleles of a gene for a particle trait?

it is a homozygous or heterozygous ( RR or rr)


All individuals that show a recessive trait are?

recessive trait only appear when an individual is homozygous recessive, both alleles must code for the recessive trait


Having the same genes for a specific trait?

Homozygous or purebred


When an individual have two identical alleles for the same trait it is called?

Having two similar alleles for a trait is called being homozygous. It is possible to be homozygous for a dominant or recessive trait.


Is homozygous the dominate trait?

Homozygous is when two traits are the exact same. So it just depends on the trait you have.


A trait produced from two alleles that are alike is?

A trait that is produced from two alleles is a Homologous.


A parent that is homozygous for a dominant trait is crossed with a parent that is homozygous for the recessive trait What percentage of the offspring will display the dominant trait?

100% of the offspring will display the dominant trait because the homozygous dominant parent can only pass on the dominant allele. The offspring will inherit one dominant allele from the dominant parent and one recessive allele from the recessive parent, resulting in a heterozygous genotype expressing the dominant trait.
