Homozygous dominant individuals carry two identical dominant alleles (e.g., AA) and typically express the dominant trait. Heterozygous individuals have one dominant and one recessive allele (e.g., Aa), exhibiting the dominant trait while carrying the recessive one. Homozygous recessive individuals possess two identical recessive alleles (e.g., aa) and express the recessive trait. The phenotypic expressions of these genotypes depend on the specific traits being studied.
What else can I help you with?
Why is an organism genotype may be homozygous dominant homozygous recessive or heterozygous but never heterozygous recessive?
I take it you're referring to the phenotype. Say a trait, like flower colour, is influenced by a single gene. The plant will possess two copies of the gene, one from each parent, but only one colour is expressed. Let's say that red is dominant and white is recessive. A plant containing 2 red alleles (homozygous for the dominant allele) will be red. A plant containing 2 copies of the white allele (Homozygous recessive) will be white and heterozygous plant, containing a single copy of both alleles will be red. There is no heterozygous recessive because the dominant allele will determine the phenotype.
The offspring of two parents that are heterozygous for a given trait have a percent chance of being homozygous for that trait?
There is a 25% chance (1 in 4) that the offspring will be homozygous for the trait. This is because when both parents are heterozygous (Aa), they can pass on either the dominant allele (A) or the recessive allele (a) to their offspring, resulting in a 1 in 4 chance of the offspring receiving the recessive allele from both parents and becoming homozygous (aa) for that trait.
What is the difference between homozgous and heterozygous?
Heterozygous vs. Homozygous: These terms refer to genetic mutations. There are two copies of the protein codes in the genetic code. If one copy is normal and the other has the mutation, it is said to be heterozygous. If both copies have the mutation, it is said to be homozygous. For example: A/A -- homozygous. A/a -- heterozygous. a/A -- heterozygous. a/a -- homozygous.Homologous refers to the pair of chromosomes that are the same whilst Homozygous refers to the fact that alleles of a gene pair are the same
What do homozomes and heterozygous mean?
In genetics, you have certain traits that give you certain features. You get one part from each parent. You may have a dad with brown eyes and a mom with blue. Your dad maybe BB or Bb, and your mom bb. Like in eye color, there's brown, blue, hazel, and other colored eyes. Brown eyes is a dominant trait. So it is homozygous dominant or heterozygous (homozygous dominant = BB, heterozygous = Bb). Blue eyes are a recessive trait (homozygous recessive = bb). So, homozygous are carrying one single part of the trait, and heterozygous is carring a part of both traits.
If Genotype of a G as dominate green and g for recessive yellow what would the heterozygous look like?
The heterozygous genotype would be Gg. This means the individual has one dominant green allele (G) and one recessive yellow allele (g). The dominant trait (green in this case) would be expressed in the phenotype of the individual.

How does heterozygous and homozygous differ?
Homozygous refers to having two identical alleles for a particular gene, either dominant or recessive, while heterozygous refers to having two different alleles for a particular gene. For example, in a homozygous dominant individual, both alleles for a gene are dominant, whereas in a heterozygous individual, one allele is dominant and the other is recessive.
What kind of alleles does a heterozygous individual have?
2, it means that both of the alleles are different when compared to homozygous. Homozygous alleles are like aa or AA. Heterozygous simply means Aa so it has one dominant and one recessive allele
The offspring of two parents that are heterozygous for a given trait have a percent chance of being homozygous for that trait?
There is a 25% chance (1 in 4) that the offspring will be homozygous for the trait. This is because when both parents are heterozygous (Aa), they can pass on either the dominant allele (A) or the recessive allele (a) to their offspring, resulting in a 1 in 4 chance of the offspring receiving the recessive allele from both parents and becoming homozygous (aa) for that trait.
What is the difference between a homozygous individual and a heterozygous individual?
In genetics, homozygous genes are identical alleles, while heterozygous genes have different alleles. For example, TT(same alleles) is homozygous genotype, while Tt (different alleles) is a heterozygous genotype.
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 would the alleles of a heterozygous trait look like?
In a heterozygous individual, the alleles for a trait are different. Each allele may be represented by a different letter (e.g., Aa), where one allele is dominant and the other is recessive. The dominant allele is typically expressed in the phenotype, while the recessive allele is not unless the individual is homozygous recessive.
Condition of being heterozygous for a recessive trait?
If you are heterozygous this means you carry both a dominant and recessive allele. if you are heterozygous for a recessive trait then you will have a dominant and recessive allele. example: let T represent tall and t represent short. a person with heterozygous for a recessive trait will have 'Tt'.
What is the difference between homozgous and heterozygous?
Heterozygous vs. Homozygous: These terms refer to genetic mutations. There are two copies of the protein codes in the genetic code. If one copy is normal and the other has the mutation, it is said to be heterozygous. If both copies have the mutation, it is said to be homozygous. For example: A/A -- homozygous. A/a -- heterozygous. a/A -- heterozygous. a/a -- homozygous.Homologous refers to the pair of chromosomes that are the same whilst Homozygous refers to the fact that alleles of a gene pair are the same
Is heterozygous Bb or BB?
It's heterozygous. Heterozygous is when there is a big letter and a little letter, like Bb. Homozygous is when both letters are the same size, like BB or bb.
What do homozomes and heterozygous mean?
In genetics, you have certain traits that give you certain features. You get one part from each parent. You may have a dad with brown eyes and a mom with blue. Your dad maybe BB or Bb, and your mom bb. Like in eye color, there's brown, blue, hazel, and other colored eyes. Brown eyes is a dominant trait. So it is homozygous dominant or heterozygous (homozygous dominant = BB, heterozygous = Bb). Blue eyes are a recessive trait (homozygous recessive = bb). So, homozygous are carrying one single part of the trait, and heterozygous is carring a part of both traits.
What is the difference fom heterozygous and homozygous recessive?
In genetics, you can either have a dominant allele (A) or a recessive allele (a). Being homozygous means that you have both of either a dominant or a recessive allele (ie you are either AA or aa). If the trait is a recessive trait, then you need to have it be homozygous recessive in order to express that trait. Hope this was helpful! :-)
