What type of alleles are expressed only if two identical copies exist on the homologs of the offspring?

Recessive alleles are expressed only when two identical copies exist on the homologs of the offspring. In this case, if an individual inherits two copies of the recessive allele, it will show the recessive trait.

Two copies of the recessive allele are the only way a recessive trait is expressed phenotypically.

Is A heterozygous pair of alleles is identical?

When there are heterozygous alleles for a gene thy code for a different expression of the gene. For example, the gene to taste PTC paper is a single gene trait. A person will have two copies (or alleles) for that gene (one from their mothers DNA, one from their father). There are two possible expressions for this gene - either you can taste the chemical or you cannot. When one allele is for tasting, and the other for not tasting, this is known as heterozygous. Both alleles are relating to the same gene but they giving different instructions and are thus not identical. When this happens, the dominant gene wins - in this case tasting is expressed. If the alleles are identical, they are known as homozygous and they are identical.


How are co dominant alleles expressed?

co dominant alleles are expressed as IA


When two alleles of a pair are identical it is a condition if the two alleles are different this is a condition?

When two alleles of a pair are identical, it is referred to as homozygous. When the two alleles are different, it is referred to as heterozygous. Homozygous individuals have two identical alleles (e.g., AA or aa), while heterozygous individuals have two different alleles (e.g., Aa).


What do geneticists call alleles that are both expressed in the phenotype when they are together?

Genetic makeup formed from both inherited alleles together is called a genotype. Homozygous alleles would be a pair of identical alleles for a single trait. Heterozygous is different alleles for a single trait.


How are traits categorized for the offspring?

As traits are dispensed to the offspring they can be either dominant or recessive. A recessive trait is only expressed when two identical alleles exist.
