What is the term used to describe the strongest gene from a pair of genes?
The dominant allele.
What term would best be used to describe an organism possessing two identical gene for a trait?
homozygous
What in term of applied to the trait that is expressed irregardless of the second allele?
The term applied to the trait that is expressed in regardless of the second allele is dominant. In contrast, the term recessive refers to a trait that is expressed when the second allele is identical.
What do you call an organism that possesses two dominant or two recessive genes fir a single trait?
I think you are referring to the term homozygous. This term applies not to the entire organism but is typically used with regard to one trait. For example, homozygous tall or homozygous dwarf when referring to height in peas. The term heterozygous refers to having one dominant and one recessive gene, or at least to having two different forms of the gene.
Term used when two genes for a specific trait are not identical?
Heterozygous refers to possessing two different forms of a particular gene. One is inherited from each parent and one is dominant and one is recessive.
What is a term for one possible form of gene for a particular trait?
an alleleallele
What is the term for one possible form of the gene for a particular trait?
The different forms of a gene are called alleles.
What are examples for the word allele?
The term allele is often used interchangeably with the word gene. Allele/gene is used for the variations seen at each gene locus for a trait on the homologous chromosome pair. For example: If there are three alleles for a trait only two of the alleles will be represented in the genotype of any one individual. The alleles for basic blood types A, B and O are examples. In general the term allele is not used interchangeably with gene in conjunction with the terms locus or loci..therefore Gene locus or gene loci but not allele locus or allele loci.
Which term describes the form of a gene that produces a specific trait such as eye color?
Allele :D
What is the term used to describe the strongest gene from a pair of genes?
The dominant allele.
What term describes the physical traits of a person?
A gene or a phenotype is the term that refers to the trait an organism physically expresses.
The outward appearance of a trait is?
The outward appearance of a trait is called a phenotype.the alternative form of a gene is called an "allele." Alleles occur at the same locus on homologous chromosones, thus govern the same trait. This term is sometimes used sysnonymously with "gene."
What is a dominate trait?
Dominant trait is a genetics term. A dominant trait is one which will be expressed if one of the parents has the gene for that trait. A recessive trait is one that will be expressed only if both parents carry the trait.
What term would best be used to describe an organism possessing two identical gene for a trait?
homozygous
What term describes the gene for tallness?
tallness is a high trait now wasn't that a quite ok pun? Mr happycool
Roosters have genes that determine feather length Which term describes the form of a gene that produces a specific trait such as long feathers or short feathers?
Allele is the term that describes the form of a gene that produces a specific trait such as long feathers or short feathers. Traits are passed in discrete units from parents to there offspring.
What does it mean to be pure for a trait?
To be pure for a specific trait means that both of the alleles that comprise that trait are both dominant alleles.
