What are genes with three or more alleles called?
this makes no scientific sense. A gene (which determines a phenotypic trait) can only contain 2 alleles. However codominace allows for multiple alleles to be chosen from, but only 2 picked for a gene. Also, if multiple genes determine a phenotypic trait that's polygenic inheritance.
When one trait is said to cancel out another trait what kind of relationship is said to exist?
dominant
A trait controlled by four alleles is said to have?
A trait controlled by four alleles is said to have multiple alleles.
What does it mean a trait is said to be sex-linked?
Generally the trait is on the X chromosome, as the Y is rather small and full of deleterious mutations and has few working genes. But and trait that is located on a sex chromosome is said to be sex linked. Naturally, women have two, XX, chromosomes, so ore protected statistically from many sex linked recessive disorders.
The most powerful genes are said to be?
Dominant, as in dominant and recessive (weaker) genes.
Traits that are produced by the interaction of several genes are said to be?
These are polygenic (which literally means "several genes").
If two chromosomes have the same genes for the same trait they are said to be?
Genes on the same chromosome are said to be linked
If two genes in a gene pair are for the same trait what will that trait be?
The question should be "If two alleles for a gene are the same, what phenotype will the organism have?" Answer: If the two alleles are for the dominant phenotype, the organism will exhibit the dominant phenotype. If the two alleles are for the recessive phenotype, the organism will have the recessive phenotype.
An organism with two different alleles for a single trait is said to be heterozygous?
A heterozygous is a hybrid of genes. It has a dominant and recessive gene. The dominant gene covers over the recessive trait, making the individual have the dominant trait. (trait are alleles...) or apex ans:two

What is heritability?
When our parents pass away we inherit their possessing. Don't we? The same is said about our genes. We inherit 50% of our genes from mother and 50% from father. Most of our physical features are determined by our genes that we inherited from our parents. The same can be said about our psychological feature. For example, personality is in somewhat is inherited feature from our parents, and in somewhat is socially learned - determined by environmental factors such as education and family influence. Hope this helps
What oranism has two different alleles for a trait?
An organism that possesses two different alleles for a trait is said to be heterozygous for that trait.
Organism that have two identical alleles for a particular trait are said to be?
Organisms that have two identical alleles for a particular trait are said to be? homozygous
