Yes, the characteristic of an organism is often referred to as a trait. Traits can include physical attributes, behaviors, and physiological features, and they can be influenced by genetics as well as environmental factors. In genetics, traits are typically categorized as either dominant or recessive, depending on how they are expressed in the organism.

What is a characteristic that is passed down from a parent to its offspring?
Dumb question, im in 11th grade and I know that's a dumb question. Just about everything can be passed down. Height is a gene, eye color is a gene..the list goes on. No offence but you kind of fail at science, I learned this in 6th grade.
What life process enables organism to react to changes in their surroundings?
Adaptation
What do you know about an organisms parents if its homozygous for a certain trait?
If an organism is homozygous for a certain trait, it means that it has two identical alleles for that trait, either both dominant or both recessive. This indicates that both parents contributed the same allele for that trait. Consequently, at least one of the parents must have also been homozygous for that allele or heterozygous, carrying the same allele. This genetic uniformity suggests that the trait is consistently passed down from the parents to the offspring.
What is an organism like a green plant that can make its own food?
An organism that can make its own food is an Autotroph.
What is the name of a single celled organism?
AmoebaA single-celled organism is also called a unicellular organism._________________More Detailed:_________________Not only the single celled organisms from the family Amoeba, but also bacterium are single celled or unicellular.
Organisms with two different alleles for a trait?
The organism that has two different alleles for the same trait is called heterozygous. This also refers to a cell or an individual that has two different forms of gene.
An organism that has two identical alleles for a trait?
An organism that has two identical alleles for a trait is said to be homozygous for that trait. This means that both alleles are the same, either dominant or recessive. Homozygosity results in a consistent expression of the trait in the organism.
What is the significance of having both alleles for a trait being the same in an organism's genetic makeup?
Having both alleles for a trait being the same in an organism's genetic makeup is significant because it results in the organism displaying a specific trait or characteristic. This is known as homozygosity, and it can lead to the expression of either a dominant or recessive trait, depending on the specific alleles involved. Homozygosity can also increase the likelihood of passing on the same trait to offspring.
A favorable trait is called an?
A favorable trait is called a dominant trait. In scientific terms it can also be called a acquired trait/adapted train. Lastly, the reproach of a favorable trait is inherited and not a gained train according to George Mandel (which is proven correct unlike Locke).
How can an organism exhibit a trait not possessed by either parent?
An organism can exhibit a trait not possessed by either parent through a process called genetic recombination, where genes from the parents are shuffled and combined in unique ways during reproduction. This can result in new combinations of alleles that were not present in either parent but are expressed in the offspring. Random mutations can also contribute to the emergence of new traits.
What is it called when a trait that is not seen when a dominant gene is paired with a recessive gene?
Heterozygous dominant. Could also be called a masked trait.
A single celled organism is also called a what?
unicellular organism
Field theorist are also called as?
Trait Theorists
What is a heritable trait becoming common in a population?
If the mutation causes a characteristic that is carried as a dominate trait, then it can spread through a population. Also, if the characteristic that is brought about by the mutation is beneficial, the organism will be better suited to its environment than others. If the organism passes this trait to its offspring, then it is understood that they should survive in a greater ratio than those without the trait and the trait becomes common.
A single cell organism is also called?
A single cell organism is also called a unicellular organism. These organisms consist of only one cell that performs all necessary functions for life. Examples include bacteria, archaea, and some types of protists.
The trait of an organism is controlled by what?
The trait of an organism is controlled by its genes, which are segments of DNA that provide instructions for building and maintaining the organism. Genes influence various traits such as physical appearance, behavior, and susceptibility to diseases. Environmental factors can also play a role in the expression of traits.
What is two dominant alleles called?
In eyes, it would be brown is dominant, and blue is recessive. Free earlobe allele is said to be dominant over the attached earlobe allele. When an organism has two dominant alleles for a trait, it is called homozygous dominant. Two recessive alleles for a trait is homozygous recessive.
