Remeber that when creating a zygote (baby) each parent contributes one copy of each chromosome so the resulting individual has two sets of chromosomes (two copies of 23 chromosomes for a resulting 46 chromosomes in humans)
Homozygous means that both of the parents have given the same allele (for example both parents have blue eyes) they can give two dominant or two recessive alleles.
Heterozygous means each parent gave the baby a different allele (option) such as if one parent had blue eyes and one parent had brown eyes. The dominant allele (in this case the brown eye color) would be expressed (used)
What else can I help you with?
What is the difference between a homozygous dominant homozygous recessive and heterozygous individual?
They are the same
What crosses will only produce heterozygous offspring?
A cross between two individuals that are homozygous for different alleles will only produce heterozygous offspring. This is because each parent can only donate one type of allele, resulting in all offspring being heterozygous for that particular gene.
What is the differences between homozygous dominant and homozygous recessive and heterozygous?
Homozygous dominant individuals have two copies of the dominant allele for a trait, homozygous recessive individuals have two copies of the recessive allele, and heterozygous individuals have one copy of each allele. Homozygous dominant and heterozygous individuals will express the dominant trait, while homozygous recessive individuals will express the recessive trait.
Is asthma homozygous or heterozygous?
heterozygous
What are the genotype a of a homozygous and a heterozygous tall pea plant?
homozygous- TT; heterozygous- Tt :)
The difference between homozygous and heterozygous?
one is curved one is straight
What is the probability that offspring of a cross between a homozygous recessive parent and a hetezyguous parent will be homozygous recessive?
In a cross between a homozygous recessive parent (AA) and a heterozygous parent (Aa), the possible genotypes of the offspring are 50% homozygous recessive (AA) and 50% heterozygous (Aa). Therefore, the probability that an offspring will be homozygous recessive is 50%.
What genotype is Yy homozygous or heterozygous?
Yy is a heterozygous genotype. Homozygous would be YY or yy.
If a test cross between a homozygous recessive and heterozygous allele will yield what percent of offspring as homozygous recessive?
A test cross between a homozygous recessive and a heterozygous individual will yield 50% of offspring as homozygous recessive. This is because all the offspring will inherit one recessive allele from the homozygous recessive parent.
What genotype could be described as heterozygous?
Yes - Hh is heterozygous. HH is homozygous, and hh is homozygous.
1 What is the difference between homozygous and heterozygous?
Homozygous refers to having two identical alleles for a trait, while heterozygous refers to having two different alleles for a trait. In other words, homozygous individuals have either two dominant or two recessive alleles, while heterozygous individuals have one dominant and one recessive allele.
What is the antonym for heterozygous?
Homozygous
