homozygous
Every gene has a dominant and recessive allele, homozygous is just when a gene has either two dominant alleles or two recessive alleles.
Incomplete dominant alleles.
Homozygous Dominant or Homozygous Recessive, accordingly.
Dominant alleles are the ones that show up in the phenotype. Recessive alleles do not unless both alleles are recessive, but can be passed on. For example: Tt , T=tall and t=short. Tall is dominant and short is recessive. You are tall and can pass on the short gene. Or, you can use black hair being dominant over red. Or, brown eyes being dominant over blue. Dominant can be seen on you and recessive can't.
We call a gene that has two different alleles heterozygous.
A gene pair that consists of 2 dominant or 2 recessive alleles is considered homozygous dominant or homozygous recessive.
If you have 2 dominant alleles, the gene will be dominant, if you have 2 recessive alleles, the gene will be recessive. But if you have 1 recessive and 1 dominant, the Dominant allele will mask the recessive one.
A gene pair that consists of a dominant allele and a recessive allele is called a heterozygous gene. A homozygous gene, meanwhile, is a gene pair consisting of two dominant alleles or two recessive alleles.
The name of the gene pair that consists of a dominant and recessive allele, i.e. (Xx) will be a heterozygous allele. In this situation, the characteristics of the dominant characteristic will mask that of the recessive allele. People have have a heterozygous genotype may be carriers for diseases that reside on the recessive allele.
Every gene has a dominant and recessive allele, homozygous is just when a gene has either two dominant alleles or two recessive alleles.
A gene or allele may take a dominant form, or a recessive form. If the allele is recessive, the characteristic which is coded for will be exhibited only if both the gene from the male and the gene from the female is recessive. Only one copy of a dominant allele is required to cause expression of the dominant characteristic
You need two recessive alleles to get their trait, but only one dominant allele to get that trait. A dominant allele basically overrides a recessive one if they are together, but the recessive gene can show up in offspring.
Alleles can be either dominant or recessive. They can be identical or different for any given gene in a somatic cell, and can represent alternative forms of a gene.
The different forms of a gene are called alleles. In Mendelian genetics, a gene has a dominant allele and a recessive allele. The dominant allele masks the recessive allele if present. So there are two possible dominant genotypes: homozygous dominant, in which both dominant alleles are present; and heterozygous, in which one allele is dominant and the other allele is recessive. The only way to express a recessive trait is to have the homozygous recessive genotype.
Incomplete dominant alleles.
The 3 forms of a gene (called alleles) are:Dominant-dominant Ex.(BB)Dominant-recessive Ex.(Bb)Recessive-recessive Ex.(bb)
Homozygous Dominant or Homozygous Recessive, accordingly.
