The question should be "If two alleles for a gene are the same, what phenotype will the organism have?"
Answer: If the two alleles are for the dominant phenotype, the organism will exhibit the dominant phenotype. If the two alleles are for the recessive phenotype, the organism will have the recessive phenotype.
What else can I help you with?
What is polygeny?
Inheritance in which more than one gene pair affects the appearance of a particular trait. Polygenetic inheritance refers to the non-Mendelian form of inheritance in which a particular trait is produced by the interaction of many genes.
Name two factors that determine the phenotype of a trait?
genes
What does being heterozygous for some genetic trait mean?
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.
The outward appearance of a trait is?
The outward appearance of a trait is called a phenotype.the alternative form of a gene is called an "allele." Alleles occur at the same locus on homologous chromosones, thus govern the same trait. This term is sometimes used sysnonymously with "gene."
What are dominant and recessive genes?
A dominant gene- A gene That is "stronger" than a recessive geneA recessive gene- A gene that must have 2 of the same to have that look.ex: A gene for being tall=T (CAPITAL T)A gene for being short=t(lowercase t)TT=TallTt=talltt=shortThe GENES WHICH ARE EXPRESSED IN THE PROGENY ARE CALLED DOMINANT AND WHICH DO NOT EXPRESS ARE CALLED RECESSIVE
What is the name each gene in a pair of genes that might or might not carry the same information about a trait?
the name is hybrids
What is the name for each gene in a pair of genes that might or might not carry the same info about a trait?
the name is hybrids
Which of these is a gene that does not express itself and is concealed by the presence of another gene of the same trait?
A recessive gene is a gene that does not express itself in the presence of a dominant gene of the same trait. When an individual inherits two recessive genes for a trait, the recessive gene will be expressed.
What is name of the two genes one on each chromosome of a pair that control the same trait are called?
They are called alleles. Each allele is a different form of the gene, and they can be dominant or recessive.
When both genes from a homologous pair are different?
When both genes from a homologous pair are different, the individual is heterozygous for that specific gene. This means each gene carries a different allele for the same trait. This can lead to a variety of outcomes, depending on whether the alleles are dominant or recessive.
What is polygeny?
Inheritance in which more than one gene pair affects the appearance of a particular trait. Polygenetic inheritance refers to the non-Mendelian form of inheritance in which a particular trait is produced by the interaction of many genes.
Word describing the two chromosomes in a pair that have genes that code for the same trait?
Homozygous.
What are a pair of genes that are identical called?
A pair of genes that are identical are called alleles. Alleles are different forms of the same gene that occupy the same position on homologous chromosomes.
If an animal with 2 dominant genes for a trait has offspring with an animal with 2 recessive genes for same trait their offspring can only have what?
Their offspring will have dominant genes. However, if these offspring have offspring with an amimal with recessive genes, the recessive genes will show up.
Many people use the terms gene and allele interchangeably Are they the same please explain?
Genes and alleles are not the same. Genes are sections of DNA that determine specific traits, while alleles are different versions of the same gene that can affect how a trait is expressed. A gene can have multiple alleles, each contributing to variations in traits.
How are dominant trait and recessive trait the same?
They are both used to format your genetic make up.
Traits seem to disappear when two different genes for the same trait are present?
This phenomenon is known as dominance, where one gene masks the expression of another gene for the same trait. When an organism carries two different genes for a trait, one gene is dominant and determines the observable trait, while the other gene, known as recessive, is not expressed in the presence of the dominant gene.
