How do you know a homozygous trait from a heterozygous trait?
A homozygous trait occurs when an individual has two identical alleles for a particular gene, either both dominant or both recessive. In contrast, a heterozygous trait occurs when an individual has two different alleles for a particular gene, one dominant and one recessive. This can be determined through genetic testing or by observing the offspring of the individual.
How would you know if you had a dominant gene?
You would know if you had a dominant gene if you exhibit the trait associated with that gene. Dominant genes override recessive genes when inherited, so if you have a dominant gene, you will express the associated trait in your physical appearance or characteristics. A dominant gene will be expressed in the presence of a recessive gene.
Did Mendel find all the 7 traits on 7 different chromosome?
Gregor Mendel studied seven different traits in pea plants, but these traits were not necessarily found on seven distinct chromosomes. Instead, each trait is controlled by genes located on different chromosomes, and the principles of Mendelian genetics apply to the inheritance of these traits independently of their chromosomal location.
What type of trait is linked to the X chromosome sex linked trait or Mendelian trait?
In humans, usually the X chromosome, because it is much larger. Very rarely does the Y chromosome carry them. if you're asking about other animals, i have no idea. I do know that in chickens, Y is the female chromosome, and X is male, but i don't know if it changes the sex-linked trait situation

Would a trait that has only two distinct phenotype more likely be a single-gene trait or a polygenic trait How do you know (3 points)?
A trait with only two distinct phenotypes is more likely to be a single-gene trait. This is because single-gene traits are typically controlled by one gene, resulting in discrete phenotypes, such as dominant and recessive. In contrast, polygenic traits involve multiple genes and usually exhibit continuous variation, leading to a wide range of phenotypes rather than just two distinct categories.
What is sickle cell Trait The condition is Autosomal and there is Codominance between alleles what does this mean?
sickle cell trait is inherited from one set of gene alleles from both parents. if you get two traits together it will cause sickle cell anemia which is a disease, sickle cell trait is not a disease. i dont know what autosomal means!! i dont know what codominance means!!

Can you see the recessive trait if one gene of a pair is dominant?
you want to know which gene thow visible one shall be seen.
Why are more men color blind than females?
It isn't only boys that are colorblind. It is just that it is much much more likely. In people, the genes that cause color blindness are on the same chromosomes that determine if you are physically a boy or a girl. So color blindness is usually called a "sex-linked" trait. If you are a boy you only need one copy of the gene to be color blind, from your mom. If you are a girl you need two copies, from both your mom and dad. Since it is harder to get two copies than one, there are a lot more color blind boys.
If you know that a woman is a hemophiliac what can you infer about the gnes carried by her parents?
Hemophilia is a sex linked recessive trait, meaning that it must be present on both X chromosomes in women while just the one X chromosome in males (because their Y chromosome lacks the necessary gene). Since the women displays the trait, both of her X chromosomes must have the recessive trait. One chromosome came from the only X chromosome her father had, so her father was also a hemophiliac. Her mother on the other hand had two possible chromosomes to donate, so she was either a recessive carrier (meaning only one of other chromosomes had the allele) or she was a complete hemophiliac with the allele on both chromosomes..
Why do color blindness occur more often in males?
It is rare in females because they have 2 X chromosomes so they have the trait that stops colorblindness, but men have an X and Y chromosome so the Y chromosome does not back up the other X chromosome and makes men have more of a chance to get colorblindness that doesn't mean girls cant get it, just means girls have a better chance to stop it.

What is a pair of alleles for a characteristic?
I don't really know the answer to that question. Maybe you should ask someone smarter... Like a doctor. Because the internet thinks it knows everything but i have been looking for thirty minutes trying to find an answer to this... "When a pair of chromosomes contains different alleles for a trait, that trait is called a(n) _____?" and i just cannot find the answer... but! if anyone knows the answer to this tell me and i will go back to trusting the internet!Thank you,-JohnDeereGirl 40409
Explain why the incidence of color blindness is higher in male than females?
Overall, colorblindness is much more common in males than females due to the fact that it is a sex-linked trait. The gene for colorblindness is carried on the X chromosome. Since this is a recessive condition, males will be more likely to express it due to the fact they only have one X chromosome while the females have two.
