An individual with two identical alleles of a gene is?
An organism that has two identical alleles for a trait is known as a homozygote or a homozygous organism.
What is the difference between homozygote-and-heterozygote?
The difference between the two is that a homozygote is an organism that has two identical genes at the same place on two corresponding chromosomes and a heterozygote desribes a cell or orangism that has two or more different versions of alleles of at least one of its genes
What is the difference between a homozygous dominant homozygous recessive and heterozygous individual?
They are the same
What is another word for homozygous?
Having two copies of the same allele. An organism as such can be called homozygote Answer: It is also called a purebreed.
1 What is the difference between homozygous and heterozygous?
Homozygous is the same(purbred) and heterozygous is different(hybrid)
How could the botanist best determine whether the genotype of the green-pod plant is homozygous or heterozygous?
A cross between a plant of unknown genotype and one that is known to be homozygous recessive is called a test cross because the recessive homozygote testswhether there are any recessive alleles in the unknown. Because the recessive homozygote will contribute an allele for the recessive characteristic to each offspring, the second allele (from the unknown genotype) will determine the offspring's phenotype.
The difference between homozygous and heterozygous?
one is curved one is straight
What is the difference between homozygous and herterozygous?
homozygous is where the 2 chromosomes are the same. ex- rr, RR heterozygous is where the 2 chromosomes are different. ex- Rr
The difference between a dominate and a recessive trait is?
A trait is dominant if it continues to be expressed in the heterozygous as well as the homozygous state. Recessivetraits are only expressed in the homozygous state.
What is the difference between homozygous yellow peas and heterozygous yellow peas?
nothing girl/boy
What is the difference between a homozygous and a heterozygous organism?
homozygous organism is one which possess same genes on their chromosome pair for instance C which represent colour blindness it will be present on both the x chromosomes of a female.
What do you call a person who has one dominant and one recessive copy of a gene?
We call a gene that has two different alleles heterozygous.
