What is a combination of alleles called in genetics?
In genetics, a combination of alleles is called a genotype.
When an organism has two identical alleles for a trait it is said to be what?
In genetics, two similar alleles for a trait is known as homozygous. Two alleles that differ from one another is known as heterozygous.
What is the significance of homozygosity in genetics, particularly in relation to two paired alleles that are exactly the same?
Homozygosity in genetics refers to having two identical alleles for a particular gene. This is significant because it can increase the likelihood of expressing a specific trait or disease. When both alleles are the same, it is called homozygous, and this can have a more pronounced effect on an individual's phenotype compared to having two different alleles (heterozygous).
A genetics tool that uses letters to represent dominant and recessive alleles?
A punnet square uses letters to represent dominant and recessive alleles.
What are alleles and can you provide an example to illustrate their role in genetics?
Alleles are different forms of a gene that can produce variations in a specific trait. For example, in eye color, the gene for eye color may have alleles for blue, brown, or green eyes. These alleles determine the specific eye color an individual will have.
What is a combination of alleles called in genetics?
In genetics, a combination of alleles is called a genotype.
What are some important discoveries in genetics?
Mendel figured out about dominant and recessive alleles, and Punnet found out about inheritance patterns.
What is an organism inherited combination of alleles called?
genetics
What are the different forms of a gene that decided a known as?
Each allele has two forms which are known as alleles. Alleles play an important role as to which characteristics either from mother or father will be passed along to the next generation. The way in which alleles are expressed is the study of genetics.
The study of how alleles affect offspring is called?
The study of how alleles affect offspring is called "genetics". This field explores how variations in genes, which are carried by alleles, impact an individual's traits and characteristics. By understanding the principles of genetics, scientists can predict and explain the inheritance patterns of certain traits in offspring.
What are the different forms of a gene that decide a characteristic known as?
Each allele has two forms which are known as alleles. Alleles play an important role as to which characteristics either from mother or father will be passed along to the next generation. The way in which alleles are expressed is the study of genetics.

2 examples of multiple alleles with pictures?
heredity and genetics
What has to do with genetics?
DNA, parents, punnet squares, alleles, and genes.
What are genetics material for a trait from each parent called?
alleles
What is the role of population genetics in the study of microevolution?
Microevolution can be studied by observing changes in the numbers and types of alleles, or genetics, in populations.
What is homazygous?
In genetics, homozygous means having two of the same allele whether it be two dominant alleles or two recessive alleles.
