What do you call one gene of a pair for a SPECIFIC trait is called?

Having two different alleles is said to be....?-Heterozygous


When neither gene in a genotype pair is dominant and neither gene is recessive the genes are said to be .?

Incomplete dominant alleles.


Gene pairs consists of two dominant alleles or two recessive alleles?

A gene pair that consists of a dominant allele and a recessive allele is called a heterozygous gene. A homozygous gene, meanwhile, is a gene pair consisting of two dominant alleles or two recessive alleles.


Is the three alleles of the single gene that controls blood type is said to be what alleles?

multiple alleles


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.


Having a pair of alleles the same is called?

A pair of alleles which are the same are said to be homozygous.


What term is used when both alleles are different?

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


Terms that describe two alleles of the same gene?

It sounds like you are referring to homozygous vs heterozygous. If an organism has two identical alleles of the same gene, it is said to be homozygous. If an organism has two different alleles of the same gene, it is said to be heterozygous.If a homozygous organism has two identical dominantalleles, it is said to be homozygous dominant, while an organism with two identical recessive alleles is said to be homozygous recessive.If this was not what you're asking, please clarify your question on the discussion page so someone can improve this answer.


When both alleles of a gene are different what is the indivisual?

If one allel is dominant and the other is reccesive then the individual is said to be heterozygous. Sorry about the spelling.


An organism with two different alleles for a single trait is said to be heterozygous?

A heterozygous is a hybrid of genes. It has a dominant and recessive gene. The dominant gene covers over the recessive trait, making the individual have the dominant trait. (trait are alleles...) or apex ans:two


What is hmozygous?

A cell is said to be homozygous for a particular gene when identical alleles of the gene are present on both homologous chromosomes. For example, if the alleles are AA or aa the cell is homologous for that trait. It is heterozygous if it is Aa


What Describes an individual that has two alleles for a trait?

It sounds like you are referring to homozygous vs heterozygous. If an organism has two identical alleles of the same gene, it is said to be homozygous. If an organism has two different alleles of the same gene, it is said to be heterozygous.If a homozygous organism has two identical dominantalleles, it is said to be homozygous dominant, while an organism with two identical recessive alleles is said to be homozygous recessive.If this was not what you're asking, please clarify your question on the discussion page so someone can Terms_that_describe_two_alleles_of_the_same_genethis answer.
