What term defines alleles that are different?
Heterozygous
What term describes a pair of alleles that are the same?
Alleles that are the same = homozygous Alleles that are different = heterozygous
Is AA an homozygous or an heterozygous?
AA could be either homozygous or heterozygous, depending on whether the individual inherited the same allele (A) from both parents (homozygous) or different alleles (Aa) from each parent (heterozygous).
What is the heterozygous for the A allele?
Heterozygous for the A allele means having one copy of the A allele and one copy of a different allele (e.g., a or B) at a particular gene locus. In genetics, the term heterozygous refers to an individual possessing two different forms (alleles) of a particular gene.
Is the BB genotype heterozygous or homozygous?
Heterozygous
Term for a genotype in which there are two recessive alleles?
A genotype consisting of two different alleles is a heterozygote.
What crosses will only produce heterozygous offspring?
A cross between two individuals that are homozygous for different alleles will only produce heterozygous offspring. This is because each parent can only donate one type of allele, resulting in all offspring being heterozygous for that particular gene.
How can one determine whether a genotype is heterozygous or homozygous?
One can determine whether a genotype is heterozygous or homozygous by looking at the alleles present. If there are two different alleles for a particular gene, the genotype is heterozygous. If there are two of the same alleles, the genotype is homozygous.
Mendel used what term to describe heterozygous pea plants?
He used the term hybrid.
Is asthma homozygous or heterozygous?
heterozygous
Can you give me a sentence using the word heterozygous?
Heterozygous means inheriting different genes from your parents. That is a heterozygous trait, not a homozygous one.
1 What is the difference between homozygous and heterozygous?
Homozygous refers to having two identical alleles for a trait, while heterozygous refers to having two different alleles for a trait. In other words, homozygous individuals have either two dominant or two recessive alleles, while heterozygous individuals have one dominant and one recessive allele.
