Any recessive phenotype which is exhibited.

Cystic Fibrosis requires both versions of the Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator (CFTR) gene to be defective (i.e. they are homozygous) on both pairs of chromosome 7. Conversely having both normal CFTR genes is also an example of a homozygous configuration.

Heterozygous would be having one normal and one defective gene i.e. being a carrier of the CF gene.

an organism that has two different alleles for a trait is heterozygous


Condition of being heterozygous for a recessive trait?

If you are heterozygous this means you carry both a dominant and recessive allele. if you are heterozygous for a recessive trait then you will have a dominant and recessive allele. example: let T represent tall and t represent short. a person with heterozygous for a recessive trait will have 'Tt'.


Organism that has two diffrent alleles for a single trait?

An organism that has two different alleles for a single trait is called heterozygous. This means that the organism inherited different versions of the gene responsible for that trait from each parent.


What organism with two unlike genes of a trait is called?

A heterozygous has 2 different alleles for a trait.


What is the difference between a homozygous trait and a heterozygous trait and can you please provide an example for each?

a homozygous trait is when an offspring has either both dominant genes or both recessive genes from its parents. a heterozygous trait is when an offspring has both dominant and recessive genes. for example: a long-tailed cat is dominant and a short-tailed cat is recessive. the long-tailed cat (homozygous dominant) had offsprings with the short-tailed cat (homozygous recessive). by doing the punnett square, 100% of their offspring will be heterozygous.


What is a person who has one recessive allele for a trait and one dominant allele for the same trait and is able to pass in the trait on to their offspring?

That is heterozygous. Some scientist call these "hybrids"(no joke)The person is heterozygous for that trait and will have the dominant phenotype.An organism with both a dominant and recessive allele for a specific trait is called an heterozygote. They are heterozygous for this trait.

What contains both a dominate trait and a recessive trait?

heterozygous?


What does being heterozygous for a trait mean?

the 2 alleles of the gene for the trait are different on the 2 homologous chromosomesBeing heterozygous for a trait means that they have different alleles for a trait. For instance: Tt would be heterozygous and TT or tt would be homozygous because they are both eitehr little or big t's.it mean the gene is not pure or for example suppose a person is blood group A but actually he is having A and O; because O is recessive trait the gene express the A trait instead, making the person having blood group A.


What is meant by a heterozygous genotype?

It means the individual has two different alleles for a trait, for example; Aa, Tt, Bb, etc.


This describes the organism or trait that has two different alleles for the same trait?

Heterozygous


What would the offspring most likely be if an individual with a heterozygous trait and an individual with a homozgous recessive trait crossed be?

The offspring would have a 50% chance of being heterozygous and showing the dominant trait and a 50% chance of being homozygous for the recessive trait.
