It depends on the context. The only way to demonstrate practically that an organism is homozygous for a particular trait is to cross it (breed it) with another showing the recessive phenotype for that trait. When enough ofspring have been produced to be statistally significant then the conclusion can be drawn. It may also be possible to deduce whether an organism is homozygous by knowing the genotypes of the parents. Also, if you already know which phenotype is dominant then an organism showing the recessive phenotype is, by definition, homozygous. Of course, this all only applies to single gene inheritance!
What else can I help you with?
What is a person who has one recessive allele for a trait and one dominant allele for the same trait and is able to pass in the trait on to their offspring?
That is heterozygous. Some scientist call these "hybrids"(no joke)The person is heterozygous for that trait and will have the dominant phenotype.An organism with both a dominant and recessive allele for a specific trait is called an heterozygote. They are heterozygous for this trait.
An organism with two different alleles for a single trait is said to be heterozygous?
A heterozygous is a hybrid of genes. It has a dominant and recessive gene. The dominant gene covers over the recessive trait, making the individual have the dominant trait. (trait are alleles...) or apex ans:two
What genotype could be described as heterozygous?
Yes - Hh is heterozygous. HH is homozygous, and hh is homozygous.
What are the symptoms of heterozygous?
There are not symptoms of heterozygous since it is not a disease or condition that you can get. It is a genetics term that refers to whether a gene is dominant or non dominate.
What is an example of two heterozygous parents?
The possible genotypes of parents who are heterozygous would be found using a punnet square. The outcome would be 50 percent heterozygous dominant, 25 percent homozygous dominant, and 25 percent homozygous recessive.
Scientists call an organism that has two different alleles for a trait is what?
an organism that has two different alleles for a trait is heterozygous
Describes an organism that has two different alleles for a trait?
Heterozygous
Organism that has two diffrent alleles for a single trait?
An organism that has two different alleles for a single trait is called heterozygous. This means that the organism inherited different versions of the gene responsible for that trait from each parent.
An organism with two different alleles?
The organism is in heterozygous condition.
It an organism has two alleles that are different then the individual is?
heterozygous.
What word describes an organism that has the genotype Bb?
The most accurate description of an organism with genotype AaBb is heterozygous. A homozygous genotype is aaBB and AA.
This is the name of an organism with two different alleles?
The organism is heterozygous for that allele.
What is an organism with one dominant and one recessive gene for a trait?
An organism with one dominant and one recessive gene for a trait is called a heterozygote. In this case, the dominant gene will be expressed in the organism's phenotype, while the recessive gene will not be expressed unless the organism inherits two copies of the recessive gene.
What organism with two unlike genes of a trait is called?
A heterozygous has 2 different alleles for a trait.
An organism that has two different for a trait is heterozygous?
alleles
What describes an organism that has two alleles for a trait?
Heterozygous
What is a organism with two different alleles for a trait?
heterozygous
