The condition called in a case when you have a two different types of alleles is called as Heterozygous and when this is exactly the opposite that is when it has the alleles for the same source we describe such a condition as a Homozygous. This two terms are of most importance when you take the genetics

∙ 12y agoWhen the two alleles are the same, the individual is known as heterozygous for that trait. If the two alleles are the same, they would be homozygous. An individual who is homozygous can also be called 'purebred'.

∙ 12y agothe term alleles is a scientific term used to describe the different forms of a gene. for example, one gene which DNA codes for is eye colour. the alleles of this gene would then be the different forms or possibilities that could result, being green, blue or brown eye colour. the various forms of eye colour that result are known as the different alleles of the gene.

What term is used for different forms of a gene?
Alternate forms of the same gene are called alleles.
What is the condition in which two different alleles are expressed equally when inhered?
It isn't really a condition but a term used for codominance. ABO blood type is an example.
How do you describe homozygous and heterozygous individuals?
Homozygous is a term used to describe an organism that has two of the same alleles for a trait. If a person's alleles for eye color are BB (dominant dominant) or bb (recessive recessive), they are homozygous.
What is the term used to refer to an organism that has two indentical alleles for the particular trait?
The term used to refer to an organism that has two indentical alleles for the particular trait is homozygous. A trait could be homozygous dominant (TT), homozygous recessive (tt), or homozygous for incomplete dominance (rr).
What is the relationships between chromosomes and homologous chromosomes?
Chromosomes refer to structures with DNA and proteins that contain genetic information. The term "homologous chromosomes" is used to specify that the chromosomes contain the same genes, but have the same or different alleles.
An individual possessing both kinds of alleles of two different traits is called?
Homozygous is the term used to describe an individual that has two of the same alleles. This term can be used for either dominant or recessive (both BB and bb are homozygous).Therefore you would probably call them a homozygous dominant individual.
Term used for the different forms of a gene are?
alleles
What term is used for different forms of a gene?
Alternate forms of the same gene are called alleles.
Term mendel used to describe two different allele combinations?
Mendel used the term hybrid when referring to a trait with two unlike alleles.
What term is used for each form of a gene?
alleles
Term used for both Yup'ik and Inupiat people?
There is no real term that describes both. They are both very different.
Which term did mendel us when referring to a trait with two unlike alleles?
Mendel used the term hybrid when referring to a trait with two unlike alleles.
What are three different alleles used to represent blood type?
The three alleles are A, B, and O
What does the term allele mean as is used in genetic crosses?
The term allele is different from a genotype because an allele can be singular, but the alleles that an individual (diploid organism) has at a certain locus are called a genotype.
What is the condition in which two different alleles are expressed equally when inhered?
It isn't really a condition but a term used for codominance. ABO blood type is an example.
The sport term 'love' is used in which two different sports?
The term 'Love' is used in both Badminton and Tennis.
How do you describe homozygous and heterozygous individuals?
Homozygous is a term used to describe an organism that has two of the same alleles for a trait. If a person's alleles for eye color are BB (dominant dominant) or bb (recessive recessive), they are homozygous.
