To identify if a locus is homozygous or heterozygous, you would need to examine the alleles present at that particular locus. If both alleles are the same, then it is homozygous. If the alleles are different, then it is heterozygous. This can be determined through techniques like DNA sequencing or PCR.

What is homozyous?

"Homozygous" refers to an individual having two identical alleles for a particular gene. This can either be two dominant alleles (homozygous dominant) or two recessive alleles (homozygous recessive). Homozygosity increases the likelihood of genetic traits being expressed.


What do homozomes and heterozygous mean?

In genetics, you have certain traits that give you certain features. You get one part from each parent. You may have a dad with brown eyes and a mom with blue. Your dad maybe BB or Bb, and your mom bb. Like in eye color, there's brown, blue, hazel, and other colored eyes. Brown eyes is a dominant trait. So it is homozygous dominant or heterozygous (homozygous dominant = BB, heterozygous = Bb). Blue eyes are a recessive trait (homozygous recessive = bb). So, homozygous are carrying one single part of the trait, and heterozygous is carring a part of both traits.


A living thing that shows a dominant trait may be homozygous dominant or homozygous recessive for the trait true or false?

False because a living thing that shows a dominant trait can not be homozygous recessive. If it is homozygous recessive it will show recessive trait. A living thing that shows dominant trait may be homozygous dominant or hetrozygous.


What is a hypervariable loci?

Hypervariable loci are regions within a gene or genome that exhibit high levels of genetic variation among individuals. These loci are often used in genetic studies to identify differences among individuals or to track evolutionary relationships due to their rapid mutation rates.
