What word describes an organism that has the genotype Bb?
The most accurate description of an organism with genotype AaBb is heterozygous. A homozygous genotype is aaBB and AA.
What is the difference between a homozygous individual and a heterozygous individual?
In genetics, homozygous genes are identical alleles, while heterozygous genes have different alleles. For example, TT(same alleles) is homozygous genotype, while Tt (different alleles) is a heterozygous genotype.
What is the phenotype of a heterozygous individual what is the genotype of a heterozygous individual?
Bb The phenotype is what the individual looks like. The genotype is the genetic material at the site that can be passed on even if it isn't expressed. For example: Animal with black hair bb (can only pass the black characteristic on to it's offspring because it is homozygous recessive). It is phenotypically black. An animal with red hair can be Bb or BB. Bb is heterozygous and the animal is phenotypically red. BB is homozygous dominant for red and the animal is phenotypically red. More information than requested but an explanation none the less.
Is a recessive gene expressed?
Ok, im assuming your question is "if two recessive alleles are present will the trait be expressed" A trait will be expressed if two alleles are recessive but it will not be the same representation as two dominant alleles. For example, T being a tall pea plant and t being a small pea plant. Two recessive alleles or, homozygous recessive, alleles The other option would be there is one dominant and one recessive, heterozygous, which would look like Tt. This would take on the trait of the dominant allele usually expressed by the capital letter. So this heterozygous plant would be tall.
What is the different between gornetype plus phenotype give on example?
genotype refers to the set of alleles. phenotype refers to how the characteristics manifest themselves. e.g phenotype- blue eyes genotype- bb
A hetrozygous genotype is when the alleles present are?
Different, such as Bb.
What is meant by a heterozygous genotype?
It means the individual has two different alleles for a trait, for example; Aa, Tt, Bb, etc.
A heterozygous genotype is when the alleles present are such as Bb?
different, not alike, homozygous is alike
What does a punett square show?
The chance of a particular trait being inherited. For each trait there are several alleles, some are dominant and others recessive, for example brown eyes are dominant over blue. The recessive phenotype can only have a genotype with both recessive alleles eg. bb The dominant phenotype can have a genotype with both dominant alleles eg. BB or one of each eg. Bb A punnet square shows the likelihood of a phenotype being inherited from given genotypes, alleles etc... BB and Bb makes BB BB Bb Bb All offspring will have the dominant phenotype (BB or Bb) eg. brown eyes Bb and Bb makes BB Bb Bb bb One in four of the offspring will have the recessive phenotype (bb) eg. blue eyes

How do you describe homozygous and heterozygous individuals?
Homozygous is a term used to describe an organism that has two of the same alleles for a trait. If a person's alleles for eye color are BB (dominant dominant) or bb (recessive recessive), they are homozygous.
What is the phenotype of a heterozygous individual what is the genotype of a heterozygous individual?
Bb The phenotype is what the individual looks like. The genotype is the genetic material at the site that can be passed on even if it isn't expressed. For example: Animal with black hair bb (can only pass the black characteristic on to it's offspring because it is homozygous recessive). It is phenotypically black. An animal with red hair can be Bb or BB. Bb is heterozygous and the animal is phenotypically red. BB is homozygous dominant for red and the animal is phenotypically red.

Why are genotypes written with two letters?
Genotypes are written with two letters to represent the two alleles inherited from each parent. The letters represent different forms of a gene, with one letter from the mother and one from the father, to show the genetic composition of an individual for a particular trait.

genotype refers to the set of alleles. phenotype refers to how the characteristics manifest themselves. e.g phenotype- blue eyes genotype- bb

What is the genotype for bamboo?
the genotype is BB
