In genetics, alleles can be classified as either dominant or recessive. The term "homologous" refers to the pairing of chromosomes in meiosis. Whether an allele is dominant or recessive depends on its effect on the phenotype when paired with another allele. Homologous chromosomes do not determine the dominance of an allele.
What else can I help you with?
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 it called when two chromosomes exchange parts?
mutagenesis occurs
Chromosomes come in pairs known as what?
Homologous chromosomes
What are two sets of chromosomes that code for the same trait called?
Homologous chromosomes.
What are homologous traits?
Homologous traits are traits that are determined by a common ancestor. These are similar traits between multiple organisms. For example, hand of a human and the hand of a monkey have similar functions so they would be considered homologous traits.
What is it when both genes are the same either both dominant or both recessive?
Homologous.
Describes the allele that is fully expressed when carried by only one of a pair of homologous chromosomes?
The allele that is fully expressed when carried by only one of a pair of homologous chromosomes is called a dominant allele. Dominant alleles mask the expression of recessive alleles when present in the genotype.
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 are chromosomes that contain genes which code for the same traits?
Homologous chromosomes are chromosomes that contain genes that code for the same traits, one inherited from each parent. These chromosomes carry similar genetic information, such as eye color or hair type, and are crucial for genetic diversity and inheritance in offspring.
A dominant phenotype will only be expressed if the individual is homozygous dominant for that trait?
Well actually not necessarily. An individual can be homozygous or heterozygous dominant for a trait. As long as they have that dominant allele in that specific genetic trait, they will automatically express the dominant phenotype. If a person is homozygous dominant, it just means that they will pass on both dominant traits to the offspring. If a person is heterozygous dominant , it means that they will pass on both a dominant and recessive trait to their offspring.Hope that helps ! =D

What is the definition of homologous?
Homologous means similar to but not the same thing, as a squirrel's foreleg is homologous to a human's arm.
Body parts similar in origin and structure are what?
homologous
A trait produced from two alleles that are alike is?
A trait produced from two alleles that are alike is called homozygous. Homozygous alleles are identical forms of a gene and can be either dominant or recessive. Homozygous dominant means having two dominant alleles, while homozygous recessive means having two recessive alleles for a particular trait.
How would you use homologous structure in a sentence?
I learned about homologous and heterozygous structures in Biology.
How many possible homologous chromosome alignments are there?
There are 2n possible homologous chromosome alignments, where n is the number of homologous pairs of chromosomes.
Are sex chromosomes homologous in humans?
Yes, sex chromosomes are homologous in humans.
