When the members of a gene pair are identical, the organism is described as homozygous for that trait. This means both alleles, one inherited from each parent, are the same, whether they are dominant or recessive. Homozygosity can influence the expression of traits, as both alleles will produce the same phenotype. In contrast, if the alleles are different, the organism is heterozygous.

When two allele pairs are identical it is considered to be?

Homozygous is the term used to describe an organism with two allele pairs that are identical, in reference to dominant characteristic traitÊin heredity.


Identical pairs of alleles are called what?

Identical pairs of alleles are called homozygous alleles.


When will homozygous gene be expressed?

A cell can be described as being homozygous for a particular gene when there are identical genes on a pair of chromosomes (humans have 23 pairs). Under these conditions, we would see the expression of the gene under the homozygous condition. If the cell had a heterozygous condition, then there would not be identical genes found in the chromosome pair.


What type of gene has Identical alleles?

A homozygous gene has identical alleles. Homozygous means the individual has two copies of the same allele for a particular gene.


How many base pairs are typically found in a gene?

A gene typically contains thousands to millions of base pairs.


Allelic pairs such as AA and AA are said to be?

Homozygous, meaning they have the same alleles for a specific gene. In this case, the allele is the same for both members of the pair - AA.

Identical pairs of dates are those that have the same month, day, and year.


Is an allele is a gene from several pairs?

No, not exactly. They are different forms of the same gene.


Is A heterozygous pair of alleles is identical?

When there are heterozygous alleles for a gene thy code for a different expression of the gene. For example, the gene to taste PTC paper is a single gene trait. A person will have two copies (or alleles) for that gene (one from their mothers DNA, one from their father). There are two possible expressions for this gene - either you can taste the chemical or you cannot. When one allele is for tasting, and the other for not tasting, this is known as heterozygous. Both alleles are relating to the same gene but they giving different instructions and are thus not identical. When this happens, the dominant gene wins - in this case tasting is expressed. If the alleles are identical, they are known as homozygous and they are identical.


Identical alleles are found in this type of gene?
