What is it when genes for a trait are the same it is called homozygous or?

heterozygotes


What is a pair of nonidentical alleles affecting two phenotypes for a given trait are both expressed at same time in heterozygotes?

Co-dominance.


Why some phenotypes are the same and other phenotypes different?

because no one in this world has the same gene.They may have similar gene,but not the same


What might the phenotypes be of two organisms that were found to have different genotypes but the same phenotype?

Phenotypes refer to the visible traits (or characteristics). Genotypes are the underlying causes for those traits. There may be different genotypes that cause the same phenotype. If the observable traits from one individual are the same from another individual, one can say they have the same phenotypes.


What are two forms of a gene called?

The two different molecular forms of a gene are called alleles.


What is different in phenotypes of an individual from those in the same species?

Phenotypes are the characteristics of the genes that are most dominant, and can represent themselves. Species have many different genes for example, you dont have the exact same genes as your best friend, and thus, producing different phenotypes which is why you look different... However, you do have may similar genes that make you part of that species.


What is the term that refers to the fact that the same genotype can be associated with many different phenotypes?

Genetic Recombination, for but one example. A Gene, with It's precisely packaged Information is, as it turns out, open to biochemically controlled Interpretation [phenotypes]!


How can you have the same phenotype but different genotype?

Different genotypes don't always change your phenotypes because of mutations


An organism that has two diffrent alleles for a trait?

Is called a heterozygote (hetero- meaning different, and zygote being the sex cell). Heterozygotes have two different alleles of a particular gene, one in each of their sets of chromosomes. As apposed to homozygotes which have two of the same alleles of a gene.


When two different genes at the same locus control different phenotypes what is it called?

This would be known as epistasis because one gene blocks another from expressing itself. Epistasis could also be the interaction between genes.


When two loci are on the same chromosome the phenotypes of the progeny sometimes do not fit the phenotypes predicted?

The same reason that dice don't always roll numbers as expected. Random chance. genetic propagation of traits is much more complex and therefor even less predictable than dice.


Why are there so many phenotypes in polygenic inheritance?

Polygenic means many genes are influencing one trait. So, the inheritance of this gives you are all sorts of combination of genes that are expressed in various phenotypes. As example think of the different heights of siblings. There are 5 to 7 genes that influence height and in the same relative environment of siblings you get many combinations of those genes which express themselves in different height same sex siblings.
