What is a trait that is not expressed when an organism receives genes for 2 different forms of a trait?
A trait that is not expressed when another is present is referred to as a recessive trait.
What organism with two unlike genes of a trait is called?
A heterozygous has 2 different alleles for a trait.
Explain how the DNA in genes relates to the traits of an organism-?
DNA is a giant molecule, a string of nuclear bases that from genes. These genes are the code to make an organism. In fact every trait in an organism is a result of the genes' action and therefore the composition of the DNA.
What an organism looks like as a result of its genes is called .?
a phenotype is the physical characteristics of an organism based on its genotype.
What is heterogenous in genes?
when an organism has 2 different alleles for a trait an allele is a specific gene examples: Blond hair, Blue eyes, Big feet
What is an organism with two genes for a trait called?
An organism with two like alleles for a trait is homozygous for that trait.
What can affect an organism trait?
genes and the environment
What are hetrozgous?
What is heterozygous? Your inherited characteristics are determined by your genes. Zygosity refers to the similarity of genes for a trait in an organism. If both genes are different, the organism is heterozygous (hetero = different) for that trait. If both genes are the same, the organism is homozyous (homo = same).
What is an organism with two different genes for a specific trait?
Heterozygous.
What is a characteristic that an organism can pass on to an offspring through its genes?
trait
Is a genotype?
A genotype is an organism's combination of genes that forms a trait.
What a genotype?
A genotype is an organism's combination of genes that forms a trait.
What is an organism that has genes that are alike for a particular trait called?
hybrid
What does inherited trait mean?
An inherited trait is a feature or characteristic of an organism that has been passed on to it in its genes.
What is a trait that is not expressed when an organism receives genes for 2 different forms of a trait?
A trait that is not expressed when another is present is referred to as a recessive trait.
What organism with two unlike genes of a trait is called?
A heterozygous has 2 different alleles for a trait.
If two genes in a gene pair are for the same trait what will that trait be?
The question should be "If two alleles for a gene are the same, what phenotype will the organism have?" Answer: If the two alleles are for the dominant phenotype, the organism will exhibit the dominant phenotype. If the two alleles are for the recessive phenotype, the organism will have the recessive phenotype.
