The answer to your question, "What is an organism with 2 of the same alleles for a trait called?" is homozygous. it is just homozygous

Scientists call an organism that has two different alleles for a trait a? What?

What kind of allele must an organism inherit in order for a recessive trait to show up?
Neither of the parents will be affected. There may not be any one with he disease in either of the parents families (or there might be). Since each parent is a carrier and has a 50/50 chance of passing one copy of the gene to each child 1/4 of the children will not get the gene, 1/2 will be carriers (1 copy) and 1/4 wil be affected (2 copies).
Is the trait for fur color a single gen trait or a polygenic trait?
The number of phenotypes produced for a given trait depend on how many genes control the trait. Single-gene trait: has two alleles. Fur has 1
What is the difference between a gene and trait?
Trait is a characteristic like: tall, short, black eyes, blue eyes Trait is determine by the genes: your gene is a little section on chromosome. A gene that control 1 trait usually have 2 alleles, for ex: Blue eyes is : Bb (b or B are the alleles make up the gene that determine the trait.) hope this help for whoever confuse!
What is codominant genotype?
When two alleles are codominant, that means that they are expressed simultaneously in different parts. For example, if a red and white flower were crossed, and the resulting flower had some red petals and some white petals that would be codominance. Another example is when animals have stripes and spots. Not to be confused in incomplete dominance, which is when two alleles are expressed simultaneously in the same part of the organism (in the flower example all the petals would be pink).
What is the difference between a genotype ratio and a phenotype ratio?
The genotype is the actual code for a trait. Hidden on the chromosome we can never actually see the alleles controlling the trait unless we sequence the DNA. The phenotype is the result of at least two alleles expressing a visible or measurable trait in an individual. A genotype to phenotype ratio is the correspondence between the unseen code of the individual's alleles and the detectable quality of the individual's trait. This ratio relates the proportional quantities of unseen and seen, a comparison between the encoded trait and the expressed result of the code.
What is a homozygous dominant offspring are?
Offspring that posses two different forms of the same gene. These are called alleles.
What is heterzygous in genes?
A heterozygous dominant gene is a gene that is more dominant in the gene pool but is made up of 2 diffrent traits passed from parent example: A heterzygous gene would be Tt for tall. The T stands for domintant trait as being tall and the t stands for the recessive trait short. All heterzygous means is that it is made up with 1 captial letter and 1 lowercase letter.

Why isn't the dominant gene's trait always the most common?
Statistical mating between mom and dad. Bb X Bb 1/4 of the time, statistically, you will get progeny with the alleles bb, the homozygous recessive traits.
What happens to A trait controlled by a dominant gene?
yes, if two Bb parents have kids, there is a 3:1 ratio that their children will show a dominant trait (BB Bb Bb bb). For multiple alleles (3 or more) it gets a little more complicated. Some traits, like height, have 1000's of genes affecting them. Consult your biology teacher for more information.Yes. Because to have a dominant trait you can have two dominant alleles or just one dominant and one recessive (because a dominant allele negates the effect of a recessive allele.) To get a recessive trait it takes two recessive alleles as oppose to a dominant trait where it takes only 1 to have a dominant trait. Therefore Dominant traits are more common.
Which did Mendel determined in his experiments on pea plants?
he determined three basic laws of genetic inheritance 1 law of dominance:each trait has two forms and one is shown in phenotype 2 law of segragation: each person have two alleles for a trait and the alleles do not blend rather they segragate during gamet production 3 independent assortment: each trait behaves independently meaning that which allele is segregated to which daughter cell does not effect the other alleles of different traits unless there is linkage between genes but mendel didnt know that genes coud be linked so his conclusion was made assuming that every trait's(inherited via genes)behavior was independent
What is the difference between the dominant and recessive allele for a trait?
An individual must have 2 recessive alleles in order for a trait to show up. One must only have 1 dominant allele in order for a trait to occur.
How many different outcomes can you have when you have 10 alleles?
There is not enough information to answer this questions. 10 alleles in 1 loci? 10 alleles total? 10 alleles for that gene in the population?

What is codominant genotype?
When two alleles are codominant, that means that they are expressed simultaneously in different parts. For example, if a red and white flower were crossed, and the resulting flower had some red petals and some white petals that would be codominance. Another example is when animals have stripes and spots. Not to be confused in incomplete dominance, which is when two alleles are expressed simultaneously in the same part of the organism (in the flower example all the petals would be pink).
What is Mendel's third law?
1. The Law of Dominance: In a cross between contrasting homozygous individuals, only one form of the trait will appear in the F1 generation - this trait is the dominant trait.2. The Law of Segragation: during the formation of gametes, alleles responsible for a trait separate; this allows for recombination during fertilization.3. The Law of Independent Assortment: alleles responsible for different traits are distributed to gametes (and thus the offspring) independently of each other.
