What are homologous traits?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

Do you mean homozygous traits?

Homozygous traits are traits that only come in 1 form. They call dogs this: purebred.

The geneticists write in the genetical way:

Say you have a pea plant. There are two forms of the trait for height.

The tall form is TT. (or Tt, but is heterozygous)

The short form is tt.

The difference is that the alleles are dominant and recessive.

Dominant means the Upper Case letter, and shows up in the physical trait.(phenotype)

The recessive means the Lower Case letter, and is masked by the dominant if present.

Hope that helps.

Answer 3

Homologous traits are features shared by different species due to a common ancestor. These traits may have different functions in each species but have a similar underlying structure. Examples include the bones in the limbs of vertebrates, which have the same basic layout despite being modified for different purposes in different species.
