Are organisms with alleles BB recessive or dominant?

Organisms with alleles BB are considered homozygous dominant. This means that the dominant allele (B) is expressed in the phenotype. Dominant alleles mask the effects of recessive alleles in heterozygous individuals.


What is it called when an organism that has two alleles that are the same?

the organism that have two identical alleles would be called homozygous for that particular gene.


What is the relationship between dominant and recessive alleles in a heterozygous organisms?

it means there is one of each. in a homozygous gene it means that there are two of the same. for example if "t" repressents a recessive trait and "T" represents a dominant trait, then an organism with a gene that is tT would be considered heterozygous, and a gene that is TT or tt would be considered homozygous or "pure bred"


What is the difference between homozygous and heterozygous?

Heterozygous is when the organism has two different alleles for a traitHomozygous is when they have two of the same the sameexample of homozygous= two blue eyesexample of heterozygous= one blue eye and one green eyeHomozygous is when the combination of alleles are the same. EX: AA or BB. Heterozygous are when the combination of alleles are different. EX: Aa or Bb.


Is Ee a heterzygous or homozygous?

Based on the information provided, it is not clear whether "Ee" refers to a specific gene or trait. In genetics, "Ee" could represent a heterozygous genotype for a particular gene if one allele is dominant and the other is recessive. Alternatively, if "Ee" represents a homozygous genotype where both alleles are the same (homozygous dominant or homozygous recessive), it would depend on the specific context of the gene or trait.

Terms that describe two alleles of the same gene?

It sounds like you are referring to homozygous vs heterozygous. If an organism has two identical alleles of the same gene, it is said to be homozygous. If an organism has two different alleles of the same gene, it is said to be heterozygous.If a homozygous organism has two identical dominantalleles, it is said to be homozygous dominant, while an organism with two identical recessive alleles is said to be homozygous recessive.If this was not what you're asking, please clarify your question on the discussion page so someone can improve this answer.


What is the difference between homozygous and heterozygous organism?

if for example we had a yellow and a blue flower yellow being dominant (Y) and blue being recessive (y) a homozygous organism has the phenotype of either being YY or yy and a heterozygous organism could only be Yy.


Is AA a homozygous genotype?

homozygous = AA & AA Heterozygous = Aa


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.

Organism possessing two identical genes for a trait is said to be?

An organism that has two different alleles of the same gene is a heterozygous organism. Due to the various effects of different alleles, an organism's traits do not reveal its genetic composition.


Is the trait TT heterozygous or homozygous?

Yes.A homozygous genotype is a gene with two identical alleles. Recessive genes are represented by a lowercase letter. Thus, a homozygous recessive genotype would be two identical genes with lowercase letters.


What does it mean to be homozygous dominant heterozygous or homozygous recessive?

Homozygous means "same" so a homozygous recessive trait would be a same [with parents] trait that is not the stronger trait which is dominant. Dominant is stronger showing trait, recessive is weaker trait. If you are dealing with Punnett squares then tt is homozygous recessive and TT is homozygous dominant. Hope this helped...


What is the opposite of homozygous of dominant?

heterozygous recessive


What describes an organism that has the genotypes Bb?

Heterozygous, because it has one dominant allele (B) and one recessive allele (b). An organism with two identical alleles (such as BB or bb) would be homozygous.
