Define the terms homozygote and heterozygote?
Homozygote: (genetics) an organism having two identical alleles of a particular gene and so breeding true for the particular characteristic. Heterozygote:(genetics) an organism having two different alleles of a particular gene and so giving rise to varying offspring.
Those who define intelligence as academic aptitude are most likely to criticize?
Gardner's Concept of Multiple Intelligences
What does assorted mean?
L = long hair ; l = short hairS = white spotted ; s=not white spottedthis example shows that the long hair and white spots alleles are dominant, and short hair and not spotted are not dominate.assorted independence means that there are two alleles one will always be dominate.example Ll or Ss
What 6 things do protocol define?
Define processes on either end of communication. Define the types of messages. Define the syntax of messages. Define the meaning of any informational fields. Define how the messages are sent and the expected response. Define interaction with the next lower layer.
Define an array and describe its purpose?
An array refers to storing data on multiple devices. An example of this would be to be able to type in six things, call them an array, and not need an identifier for each one.
What is a trait controlled by three or more alleles have?
multiple alleles
A trait controlled by four alleles is said to have?
A trait controlled by four alleles is said to have multiple alleles.
How do you know that human height is not multiple alleles?
It is based on multiple alleles.
What are the multiple forms of genes called?
Alleles are genes that exist in multiple forms.
When more than two different alleles control a trait?
This phenomenon is known as multiple allelism, where there are more than two different variations of a gene (alleles) that can affect a single trait. In this case, individuals can inherit one of several possible alleles for the trait. Examples include the ABO blood group system in humans, where there are three alleles (IA, IB, i) that determine a person's blood type.
How are multiple alleles different from polygenic traits?
Multiple alleles are genes that have more than two alleles. An example of this would be blood types, with ABO as three separate alleles.Polygenic traits are traits whose phenotype rely on alleles from different genes. An example of this would be hair type, which relies on genes from different parts of chromosomes.The main difference is that multiple alleles are genes with 3 or more alleles; polygenic traits do not necessarily have more alleles, but they rely on on multiple genes.
What is the condition whereby a trait is determined by three or more alleles called?
The condition whereby a trait is determined by three or more alleles is called multiple allelism. Multiple alleles refer to the presence of more than two alleles of a gene within a population. This can result in various combinations of traits and phenotypes.
When a gene has more than two alleles the condition is known as?
multiple alleles
A population of an organism sHow is more than two alleles for a characteristic this is a case of?
This is a case of multiple allelism. Multiple allelism refers to the presence of more than two alleles for a particular gene in a population. Each individual will still only have two of these alleles.
How do multiple alleles control the trait?
In the case of multiple alleles, one trait is governed by more than two alleles. One example is the human ABO blood group. There are three alleles, A, B, and O. A person can, however, only inherit two of the three alleles.
Two ways multiple alleles and polygenic traits differ?
Multiple alleles are "the existence of more than two alleles (versions of the gene) for a genetic traits. Polygenic traits are "[characteristics of organisms that are] influenced by several genes." So multiple alleles are more than two alleles for one trait, and polygenic traits are one trait that is influenced by multiple genes. This information came from my biology textbook, "Biology: Principles and Explorations" by Holt, Rinehart, and Winston.
Which two terms best describe the inheritance of human blood types?
codominance and multiple alleles
