What the relationship between homozygous and heterozygous?

What is thediffernece between homozygous and hetrozygous? Homozygous is a gene combination involving two of the same type of allels. AA,hh) hetrozygous is a gene combination involving two different types of alleles (e.g. Hh, Rr)


How you identify loci is homozygous or hetrozygous?

To identify if a locus is homozygous or heterozygous, you would need to examine the alleles present at that particular locus. If both alleles are the same, then it is homozygous. If the alleles are different, then it is heterozygous. This can be determined through techniques like DNA sequencing or PCR.


A living thing that shows a dominant trait may be homozygous dominant or homozygous recessive for the trait true or false?

False because a living thing that shows a dominant trait can not be homozygous recessive. If it is homozygous recessive it will show recessive trait. A living thing that shows dominant trait may be homozygous dominant or hetrozygous.


What is genotype what terms describe genotype?

"BB" and "bb" are Homozygous"Br" are hetrozygous


What do you mean by hetrozygous?

Heterozygous refers to an individual having two different alleles for a particular gene. In heterozygous individuals, one allele is dominant and the other is recessive, and the dominant allele typically determines the organism's phenotype.


A hetrozygous genotype is when the alleles present are?

Different, such as Bb.


Any hybrid organism is A.recessive B.purebred C.heterozygous D.homozygous D.?

C. heterozygous. Hybrid organisms are the result of crossing two different purebred parents, which leads to a mix of their genetic traits in the offspring. This results in the organism being heterozygous for many traits.


What do homozomes and heterozygous mean?

In genetics, you have certain traits that give you certain features. You get one part from each parent. You may have a dad with brown eyes and a mom with blue. Your dad maybe BB or Bb, and your mom bb. Like in eye color, there's brown, blue, hazel, and other colored eyes. Brown eyes is a dominant trait. So it is homozygous dominant or heterozygous (homozygous dominant = BB, heterozygous = Bb). Blue eyes are a recessive trait (homozygous recessive = bb). So, homozygous are carrying one single part of the trait, and heterozygous is carring a part of both traits.


Which term refers to having two identical alleles in a given trait?

Homozygous refers to having two identical alleles in a given trait.


What is homozyous?

"Homozygous" refers to an individual having two identical alleles for a particular gene. This can either be two dominant alleles (homozygous dominant) or two recessive alleles (homozygous recessive). Homozygosity increases the likelihood of genetic traits being expressed.


What do you call an organism that possesses two dominant or two recessive genes fir a single trait?

I think you are referring to the term homozygous. This term applies not to the entire organism but is typically used with regard to one trait. For example, homozygous tall or homozygous dwarf when referring to height in peas. The term heterozygous refers to having one dominant and one recessive gene, or at least to having two different forms of the gene.
