Any recessive phenotype which is exhibited.
Cystic Fibrosis requires both versions of the Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator (CFTR) gene to be defective (i.e. they are homozygous) on both pairs of chromosome 7. Conversely having both normal CFTR genes is also an example of a homozygous configuration.
Heterozygous would be having one normal and one defective gene i.e. being a carrier of the CF gene.

∙ 13y agoHomozygous is the genotype in which both of the alleles are the same meaning that the organism is a pure breed.
People that have type A blood with the alleles IaIa, or Type B blood with the alleles IbIb, or Type O blood with the alleles IoIo are all examples of people with homozygous alleles.

∙ 10y agoIf a person has blue eyes, they are are homozygous for that trait. Blue eye color is recessive to brown, so a person with blue eyes has two copies of the blue gene for eye color.
If the person has brown eyes, they could carry the blue gene because blue is recessive to brown. This person would be heterozygous for eye color.

How do you know a homozygous trait from a heterozygous trait?
A homozygous trait is controlled by only one kind of allele, while a heterozygous trait is controlled by multiple allele types.
What is an organism with 2 alleles for 1 trait that are different?
The answer to your question, "What is an organism with 2 of the same alleles for a trait called?" is homozygous. it is just homozygous-By SciienceFreak
Scientists call an organism that has two different alleles for a trait is what?
an organism that has two different alleles for a trait is heterozygous
What is an organism with one dominant and one recessive gene for a trait?
that organism is a heterozygous one which contain the traits of recessive as well as dominant genes.
Two fruit flies having the same red eye color is an example of two organisms that are heterozygous or homozygous?
Two fruit flies having the same red eye color is an example of two organisms that are homozygous for the eye color trait. If the fruit flies had different eye colors, then they would be heterozygous for the trait.
Condition of being heterozygous for a recessive trait?
If you are heterozygous this means you carry both a dominant and recessive allele. if you are heterozygous for a recessive trait then you will have a dominant and recessive allele. example: let T represent tall and t represent short. a person with heterozygous for a recessive trait will have 'Tt'.
Organism that has two diffrent alleles for a single trait?
An organism with two different alleles for a trait? is a hybrid
What organism with two unlike genes of a trait is called?
A heterozygous has 2 different alleles for a trait.
How do you know a homozygous trait from a heterozygous trait?
A homozygous trait is controlled by only one kind of allele, while a heterozygous trait is controlled by multiple allele types.
What does being heterozygous for a trait mean?
the 2 alleles of the gene for the trait are different on the 2 homologous chromosomesBeing heterozygous for a trait means that they have different alleles for a trait. For instance: Tt would be heterozygous and TT or tt would be homozygous because they are both eitehr little or big t's.it mean the gene is not pure or for example suppose a person is blood group A but actually he is having A and O; because O is recessive trait the gene express the A trait instead, making the person having blood group A.

What is a person who has one recessive allele for a trait and one dominant allele for the same trait and is able to pass in the trait on to their offspring?
That is heterozygous. Some scientist call these "hybrids"(no joke)The person is heterozygous for that trait and will have the dominant phenotype.An organism with both a dominant and recessive allele for a specific trait is called an heterozygote. They are heterozygous for this trait.
Describes an organism that has two different alleles for a trait?
Heterozygous
What contains both a dominate trait and a recessive trait?
heterozygous?
A genotype consisting of two identical alleles of a gene for a particle trait?
it is a homozygous or heterozygous ( RR or rr)
What is the difference between a homozygous trait and a heterozygous trait and can you please provide an example for each?
a homozygous trait is when an offspring has either both dominant genes or both recessive genes from its parents. a heterozygous trait is when an offspring has both dominant and recessive genes. for example: a long-tailed cat is dominant and a short-tailed cat is recessive. the long-tailed cat (homozygous dominant) had offsprings with the short-tailed cat (homozygous recessive). by doing the punnett square, 100% of their offspring will be heterozygous.
