What is the significance of genotypes where the alleles are the same in genetic inheritance?

When genotypes have the same alleles in genetic inheritance, it means that the individual is homozygous for that particular trait. This can have significance in determining the expression of that trait in the individual.


Is myopia a sex linked trait?

No, myopia is not a sex-linked trait. It is a complex trait influenced by both genetic and environmental factors. While genetics play a role, there is no direct link to sex chromosomes determining the development of myopia.

Which type of genetic trait appears in every generation of offspring?

A dominant genetic trait appears in every generation of offspring because only one copy of the dominant allele is needed for the trait to be expressed.


What is the type of trait that has many phenotypes?

The trait that describes the collected results of phenotypic expression of Genes - the karyotype describes the physical form of the {finally composed} shape of the organism. Added: A polymorphic trait. Could be the result of polygenic genetic composition, or anything in the environment, such as temporal or physical separations in the same population of organisms.
