A pair of genes that are identical are called alleles. Alleles are different forms of the same gene that occupy the same position on homologous chromosomes.

The latter genes are called?

alternative forms of gene are called as alleles. a pair of genes identical to each other are called true copies and of they are slightly different from each other are called as altered copies.


What are two horses with identical genes called?

Identical twins. Although horses sometimes have twins I'm not sure if they have identical twins.


What is it called when genes in a gene pair blend together?

They are the genes from the male and female genes , or the X and Y chromosomes. The dominate genes is featured in the offspring.


Two horses with identical genes can be called?

Depending on how they got identical genes, they may be clones (if it was done artificially, and they were born at different times), or if they were born at the same time, they could be identical twins. However, I don't think horses ever have twins.


If two allels are identical the pair is?

It is called Homozygous.


What is called when you have a pair of genes that cnsits of a dominant allele and a recessive allele?

heterozygous


When will homozygous gene be expressed?

A cell can be described as being homozygous for a particular gene when there are identical genes on a pair of chromosomes (humans have 23 pairs). Under these conditions, we would see the expression of the gene under the homozygous condition. If the cell had a heterozygous condition, then there would not be identical genes found in the chromosome pair.


A fertilized egg with an unmatched pair of genes is said to be?

A fertilized egg with an unmatched pair of genes is called heterozygous. This means that the organism has two different alleles for a particular gene.


What is an organism that has genes that are alike for a particular trait called?

An organism that has genes that are alike for a particular trait is called homozygous for that trait. This means that it has two identical alleles for that specific gene.


If identical brothers impregnated identical sisters would the babies be identical cousins?

No, because not all genes are selected from the parents. Identical brothers/sisters have exactly the same genes...the egg split just after genes were selected. They will sure look similar, though.


Can you explain how each gene in a pair interacts with one another to determine specific traits in an organism?

Genes in a pair interact with each other through a process called dominance. Dominant genes mask the effects of recessive genes, determining the traits that are expressed in an organism. This interaction between genes in a pair helps determine specific traits in an organism by influencing which genes are passed on from parents to offspring.


What is a pair of corresponding chromosomes called?

A pair of corresponding chromosomes is called homologous chromosomes. They are similar in size and carry genes that control the same traits. One chromosome in the pair is inherited from each parent.
