well, I am in a sophmore Biology class and learned today the answer to your question. One disorder would be colorblindness. Colorblindness is most common in males because in order to have to disorder you must carry two mutated x chromosomes. The mother would have to carry the mutated chromosome because the male only has one and in order for the offspring to receive 2 mutated x chromosoms the mother will obviously need to be carrying it as well as the father. Another recessive genetic dissorder you can get is called "Hemophilia." This is a disorder in which the genes for hemoglobin are not present, and your body is not able to create blood clots and a simple scratch can be very serious. It can be treated with injections of clotting protiens. HOPE THIS HELPS

What genotypes are produced by a program of inbreeding?

Inbreeding tends to produce homozygous genotypes, meaning the offspring have two identical alleles at a particular locus. This can increase the expression of recessive genetic traits and potentially lead to genetic disorders. The genotypic variations in the offspring decrease as inbreeding continues.


What do you call oransim that posssses two dominant or two recessive genes for a single trait?

Homozygous dominant for two dominant genes or homozygous recessive for two recessive genes.


What is it when you have a gene pair that consist of two dominate alleles and two recessive alleles?

The name of the gene pair that consists of a dominant and recessive allele, i.e. (Xx) will be a heterozygous allele. In this situation, the characteristics of the dominant characteristic will mask that of the recessive allele. People have have a heterozygous genotype may be carriers for diseases that reside on the recessive allele.


Is TTT an example of a homozygous recessive genotype?

No, TTT is not an example of a homozygous recessive genotype. In genetics, a homozygous recessive genotype would have two copies of the same recessive allele, such as tt. TTT would indicate a homozygous dominant genotype.


All individuals that show a recessive trait are?

recessive trait only appear when an individual is homozygous recessive, both alleles must code for the recessive trait


Homozygous dominant homozygous recessive?

Homozygous dominant individuals have two identical dominant alleles for a particular gene, resulting in the expression of the dominant trait. Homozygous recessive individuals have two identical recessive alleles, resulting in the expression of the recessive trait.


A trait produced from two alleles that are alike is?

A trait produced from two alleles that are alike is called homozygous. Homozygous alleles are identical forms of a gene and can be either dominant or recessive. Homozygous dominant means having two dominant alleles, while homozygous recessive means having two recessive alleles for a particular trait.


How do two heterozygous organisms produce on offspring with a recessive phenotype?

There are two forms of Homozygous inheritance: Homozygous Dominant, and Homozygous Recessive. In order for two parents that are Homozygous to produce a Heterozygous offspring, one of them MUST be Homozygous Dominant, and the other MUST be Homozygous Recessive.


What does it mean to be homozygous dominant heterozygous or homozygous recessive?

Homozygous means "same" so a homozygous recessive trait would be a same [with parents] trait that is not the stronger trait which is dominant. Dominant is stronger showing trait, recessive is weaker trait. If you are dealing with Punnett squares then tt is homozygous recessive and TT is homozygous dominant. Hope this helped...


To have double dose of the same allele?

Having a double dose of the same allele (homozygous) means having two copies of the same gene variant. This can result in either an increased expression of a particular trait or an increased risk of genetic disorders, depending on whether the allele is dominant or recessive. Having a homozygous genotype increases the likelihood of expressing the associated phenotype.


What is the opposite of homozygous of dominant?

heterozygous recessive


What is homozygous-?

Every gene has a dominant and recessive allele, homozygous is just when a gene has either two dominant alleles or two recessive alleles.
