The genes an organism has for a trait are referred to as its genotype. The genotype consists of the specific alleles inherited from its parents that determine the expression of that trait. These alleles can be dominant or recessive, influencing how the trait is manifested in the organism's phenotype, which is the observable characteristic. Understanding an organism's genotype is crucial for studying inheritance patterns and predicting traits in future generations.
What else can I help you with?
What is a trait that is not expressed when an organism receives genes for 2 different forms of a trait?
A trait that is not expressed when another is present is referred to as a recessive trait.
What organism with two unlike genes of a trait is called?
A heterozygous has 2 different alleles for a trait.
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.
Explain how the DNA in genes relates to the traits of an organism-?
DNA is a giant molecule, a string of nuclear bases that from genes. These genes are the code to make an organism. In fact every trait in an organism is a result of the genes' action and therefore the composition of the DNA.
What an organism looks like as a result of its genes is called .?
a phenotype is the physical characteristics of an organism based on its genotype.
What is an organism with two genes for a trait called?
An organism with two like alleles for a trait is homozygous for that trait.
What can affect an organism trait?
genes and the environment
What are hetrozgous?
What is heterozygous? Your inherited characteristics are determined by your genes. Zygosity refers to the similarity of genes for a trait in an organism. If both genes are different, the organism is heterozygous (hetero = different) for that trait. If both genes are the same, the organism is homozyous (homo = same).
What is an organism that has genes that are alike for a particular trait called?
An organism that has genes that are alike for a particular trait is called homozygous for that trait. This means that it has two identical alleles for that specific gene.
An organismwith two like genes for a triat is called what for that trait?
An organism with two like genes for a trait is called homozygous for that trait.
What is an organism with two different genes for a specific trait?
Heterozygous.
What a genotype?
A genotype is an organism's combination of genes that forms a trait.
Is a genotype?
A genotype is an organism's combination of genes that forms a trait.
What is a characteristic that an organism can pass on to an offspring through its genes?
trait
What does inherited trait mean?
An inherited trait is a feature or characteristic of an organism that has been passed on to it in its genes.
What is a trait that is not expressed when an organism receives genes for 2 different forms of a trait?
A trait that is not expressed when another is present is referred to as a recessive trait.
What organism with two unlike genes of a trait is called?
A heterozygous has 2 different alleles for a trait.
