The zygote is heterozygous for that gene. Which ever one of the genes of the parents is dominant, then the zygote has that gene, but also carries the recessive trait from the other parent.
A heterozygote. An organism with the same alleles at a locus is called a "homozygot".
The process by which alleles segregate randomly during meiosis is called "independent assortment." This principle states that the alleles for different genes segregate independently of one another when gametes are formed, leading to genetic variation in the offspring. Independent assortment occurs during the formation of gametes when homologous chromosomes are separated into different cells.
The process is called Meiosis.
The process is called Meiosis.
different form of genes are called allele
The process by which alleles separate into different gametes during meiosis is called "segregation." Specifically, this occurs during anaphase I of meiosis, where homologous chromosomes are pulled apart, ensuring that each gamete receives only one allele for each gene. This principle is a key aspect of Mendelian genetics, reflecting how traits are inherited independently.
Different versions of the same gene are called
Alleles
The process is called meiosis, specifically during the formation of gametes, where alleles segregate. Each gamete receives one of the two possible alleles for a given gene due to the law of segregation, which states that allele pairs separate during gamete formation. This ensures genetic variation in offspring when gametes combine during fertilization.
When gametes are formed through a process called reproduction, where a male's gamete combines with a female gametes' cell and produces a zygote; the alleles for that are varied in different fertilized zygotes. For example a zygote could have two different alleles from the gene from the male and the female; G and g, thus it would be heterozygous. However at the same time another zygote could have the gene of GG which would be homozygous and pure green.
Alleles
Different versions of a gene for the same trait are called alleles. Alleles can result in different observable traits depending on their specific sequence and how they interact with each other.
