What are the pair of alleles for a trait and how do they determine the expression of that trait?

Alleles are pairs of genes that determine a specific trait in an organism. Each parent contributes one allele, and the combination of alleles determines how the trait is expressed. If the alleles are the same (homozygous), the trait will be expressed in a certain way. If the alleles are different (heterozygous), one allele may be dominant and determine the trait's expression, while the other may be recessive and not expressed.


Is a homozygous a hybrid?

No, a homozygous individual has two identical alleles for a particular trait, while a hybrid individual has two different alleles for the same trait.


When two alleles in a pair are different?

When the alleles are different the organism is heterozygous for that trait. Another way of putting it is to say the genotype is heterozygous for that trait. The dominant allele will be seen in the phenotype ie what is displayed.Most traits are governed by more than one pair of alleles.


How do you use single gene trait in a sentence?

"now that it how the single gene trait is controlled"by the way stop cheating and seeing the answers online


What is a plant with two dominant or two recessive alleles said to be?

Heterozygous alleles are used to describe the 'parents' when creating a test cross chart. When completing a test cross there is more than comparing alleles, you are really comparing genetics. Heterozygous YY or yy versus Homozygous Yy, is just the first to consider.


What are individual versions of genes called?

Individual versions of genes are called alleles. Alleles are variations of a gene that can result in different traits or characteristics in an organism. Each individual inherits two alleles for each gene, one from each parent.


What allele always determines a trait of offspring?

There are many ways alleles are determined for diff-rent traits and one way is by joining both recessive and dominantalleles together.


What types of alleles are expressed only if 2 identical copies exist on the homologs of the offspring?

Two copies of the recessive allele are the only way a recessive trait is expressed phenotypically.


Are alleles alternative forms?

yep


What is A version of gene is called?

Particular Versions of Genes are called Alleles - one way they differ is that some alleles are termed to be dominant while others are termed to be recessive.


What is a Genotype in which both alleles are the same?

A genotype in which both alleles are the same is called homozygous. This means that the individual has two identical alleles for a particular gene (e.g., AA or aa). Homozygous genotypes can be either homozygous dominant (both alleles are dominant) or homozygous recessive (both alleles are recessive).


What kind of allele must an organism inherit in order for a recessive trait to show up?

Neither of the parents will be affected. There may not be any one with he disease in either of the parents families (or there might be). Since each parent is a carrier and has a 50/50 chance of passing one copy of the gene to each child 1/4 of the children will not get the gene, 1/2 will be carriers (1 copy) and 1/4 wil be affected (2 copies).
