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
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.
A gene that shows no impact on a trait in a heterozygous state is called a recessive gene. In a heterozygous individual, the dominant gene will determine the trait expressed, while the recessive gene remains hidden.
Two fruit flies having the same red eye color is an example of two organisms that are homozygous for the eye color trait. If the fruit flies had different eye colors, then they would be heterozygous for the trait.
An allele that produces a trait in the heterozygous condition is called dominant. This means that only one copy of the allele is needed to express the trait.
an organism that has two different alleles for a trait is heterozygous
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'.
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.
A heterozygous has 2 different alleles for a trait.
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.
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.
Heterozygous
heterozygous?
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.
It means the individual has two different alleles for a trait, for example; Aa, Tt, Bb, etc.
Heterozygous
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.
