Seeds come in different sizes and shapes. Some are oval with a point at one end. This would be an example of an apple seed. Other seeds are helicopters which means they spin when dropped. An example of this seed is a conifer tree seed.

What is heterozygouz?

Many organisms contain two copies of each chromosome, and generally these two chromosomes are not identical. If a particular trait, such as the shape of a pea, is determined by one particular section of a chromosome, it is possible for the two copies of the chromosome to have different instructions for the trait. If the two sections of the two chromosomes have different instructions, this is called being heterozygous.Often if an organism is heterozygous for a trait, one of the sets of instructions (called an allele) will be dominant over the other. This means that if either of the chromosomes has that dominant version of the allele, that is the set of instructions that will be followed.Examples: The gene for seed shape in pea plants exists in two forms, one form or allele for round seed shape (R) and the other for wrinkled seed shape (r). A heterozygous plant would contain the following alleles for seed shape: (Rr).Organisms have two alleles for each trait. When the alleles of a pair are heterozygous, one is dominant and the other is recessive. Using the previous example, round seed shape (R) is dominant and wrinkled seed shape (r) is recessive. Round: (RR) or (Rr), Wrinkled: (rr).


Mendel's pea plants that had a round seed shape self-pollinated and produced plants with round seeds for many generations What type of plant is this?

The plant is most likely a homozygous dominant plant for seed shape, meaning it contains two dominant alleles for round seed shape (RR). This allows for consistent expression of the round seed trait in offspring.


What is a trait that is not expressed from a living thing thing that has received genes for two different forms of that trait?

Incomplete dominance is a trait that can result when an organism receives genes for two different forms of the same trait. In this case, neither form of the trait is fully expressed, leading to a blending of the two forms.


Round seed shape in peas is an example of a trait controlled by a dominant allele beacause?

Round seed shape in peas is an example of a trait controlled by a dominant allele because the presence of even one copy of the dominant allele results in the expression of the round seed shape phenotype. This means that individuals with either two dominant alleles (RR) or one dominant and one recessive allele (Rr) will have round seeds, while individuals with two recessive alleles (rr) will have wrinkled seeds.


What is a contrasting trait?

pea has many sharply ditinct traits each trait has two clear alternative forms e.gseed shap has round or wrinkled phenotype plant hieght was long or short seed colour was yellow or green Mendel called them pair of contrasting trait


What happens when a trait shows codominant alleles?

two forms of the trait are both equally dominant apex


Mendel wanted to find out if the pattern of inheritance for one trait affected the pattern of inheritance for another. What experiment did he perform to test this idea?

(Apex Learning) He tested seed color and shape at the same time.


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.
