What is it called when an organism inherited two of the same alleles of a gene from its parents?

Then you will have two copies of the same gene, a condition known as having identical alleles. If the particular gene is recessive (such as for blue eyes) this is the only way it will be able to express itself.

∙ 7y agoAlleles are variation in genes that are inherited by a child from both parents. It can be recessive and it will not be expressed or it will be dominate and will be expressed or seen. If one parent has brown eyes and the other blue, the brown will be expressed (the child will have brown eyes) and he will also carry the blue which is recessive but not seen.

Instructions for an inherited trait are called?
alleles
Behavior that is inherited?
behavior that is inherited
What are inactive alleles?
Inactive alleles (usually called recessive) are not fully expressed in the phenotype of the organism.
What is an organism with 2 alleles for 1 trait that are different?
The answer to your question, "What is an organism with 2 of the same alleles for a trait called?" is homozygous. it is just homozygous-By SciienceFreak
The detectable traits of an organism as determined by what alleles are present is the what?
The physical trait exhibited by an organism's genes is called the phenotype. (As opposed to the genotype, which refers to the alleles themselves.)
What is an organism inherited combination of alleles called?
genetics
What behavior shown by an organism that is not inherited from parents called?
Cat
What are both inherited alleles called?
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.
What is the organisms combination of alleles called?
The genes an organism contains is called the organism's genotype.
Instructions for an inherited trait are called?
alleles
Are dominant alleles naturally better for an organism?
No, recessive alleles are equally likely to be inherited (if your dealing with only those two types of alleles). BUT, dominant alleles are the ones that show up. That is precisely why they are called dominant. Compared to recessive alleles, dominant ones will overrule the others, making it the one inherited.
What is it called when an organism that has two alleles that are the same?
the organism that have two identical alleles would be called homozygous for that particular gene.
