homozygous
Yes, in a homozygous individual, both alleles for a particular gene are the same.
homozygous
homozygous
Different versions of the same gene are called
Alleles are alternate forms of the same gene. A gene is the basic physical unit of heredity that is passed on from a parent to their children.
Same alleles expressed on both chromosomes are referred to as "homozygous" alleles. In this condition, an individual carries two identical copies of a particular gene, one inherited from each parent. This can result in a uniform expression of traits associated with that gene in the organism. For example, if both alleles for a gene determining flower color are red, the plant will express the red color uniformly.
False. Alleles of a gene are found at the same locus on homologous chromosomes.
Homozygous refers to having two identical alleles of a particular gene, while heterozygous refers to having two different alleles of a particular gene. In homozygous individuals, both alleles are the same (e.g., AA or aa), while in heterozygous individuals, the alleles are different (e.g., Aa).
You're looking at a gene which contains 2 alleles (meaning variations of that gene). Let's call it "A."Remember that you get 2 copies of EACH gene (one from mom, one from dad).
A pair of alleles which are the same are said to be homozygous.
Alleles
Yes, alleles are different versions of the same gene that can result in variations in traits.
