How many alleles for one trait are normally found in the genotype of an organism?
An organism has two alleles for one trait. If the two alleles are the same, the individual is homozygous for that trait, and if they are different, the individual is heterozygous.
Where the alleles for given trait are inherited from?
The alleles for a given trait are inherited from an individual's parents.
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.
What are the pair of alleles for a trait and how do they determine the expression of that trait?
Alleles are pairs of genes that determine a specific trait in an organism. Each parent contributes one allele, and the combination of alleles determines how the trait is expressed. If the alleles are the same (homozygous), the trait will be expressed in a certain way. If the alleles are different (heterozygous), one allele may be dominant and determine the trait's expression, while the other may be recessive and not expressed.
How many alleles does a zygote have for each trait?
No - some traits are polygenetic (such as for skin color, eye color, hair color, etc.) and will have multiple alleles.
How many alleles for one trait are normally found in the genotype of an organism?
An organism has two alleles for one trait. If the two alleles are the same, the individual is homozygous for that trait, and if they are different, the individual is heterozygous.
A single individual carries how many alleles for a trait?
It depends on the trait. Some traits are controlled by several alleles. Some traits are simply one of many controlled by a single allele. It also depends and how you correlate the trait with the allele. Sometimes a completely unrelated allele can "turn on" or "turn off" other sets of alleles. This means that the number of alleles associated with a particular trait can ultimately be indeterminable by our current observational methods.
Where the alleles for given trait are inherited from?
The alleles for a given trait are inherited from an individual's parents.
When a trait has more then two alleles and how is that trait inherited?
Even though there are more than two alleles, an individual can inherit only two, one from the mother and one from the father.
For each trait there are allele possibilities?
Yes, that is correct. Each trait is controlled by genes, and genes exist in different forms called alleles. For any given trait, an individual can have two alleles—one inherited from their mother and one from their father. These alleles can have different variations, resulting in different expression of the trait.
What does it mean if there is two different alleles for a trait?
The trait could show up in two different forms. Alleles are individual units that determine what trait will be expressed in an offspring. Alleles exist for most traits such as hair color or wing size. Having two alleles simply means that the trait can be expressed in different variation. One trait can have several different alleles.
How many alleles for 1 trait do you get from your mother?
You get one allele for 1 trait from your mother. Alleles are alternative forms of a gene, and you inherit one allele for each trait from each parent.
What does Scientists describe the set of information for each form of trait as?
Scientists describe the set of information for each form of trait as alleles. Alleles are alternative forms of a gene that can determine a specific trait in an individual. Each individual inherits two alleles for each gene, one from each parent.
What is individual heterozygous?
Hi I'm 12 .A heterozygous organism is one with 2 different alleles for one trait
Is heterozygous individual?
Hi I'm 12 .A heterozygous organism is one with 2 different alleles for one trait
More than one pair of alleles controls a trait?
It isn't genome the definition of genome is a map of the location of individual genes on every chromosome of an individual. It's multiple alleles- having more than two alleles that control a trait. PS- I got this information from my text book:)
How do you know a homozygous trait from a heterozygous trait?
