A heterozygous has 2 different alleles for a trait.
a phenotype is the physical characteristics of an organism based on its genotype.
A trait that is not expressed when another is present is referred to as a recessive 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.
Sections of chromosomes that code for a trait are called genes.
When three or more contrasting genes control a trait, it is called polygenic inheritance. This type of inheritance involves multiple genes interacting to influence a single trait, resulting in a continuous distribution of phenotypes in a population.
An organism with two like alleles for a trait is homozygous for that trait.
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 organism with two like genes for a trait is called homozygous for that trait.
genes and the environment
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).
A trait is a specific characteristic of an organism. Traits can be determined by genes or the environment, or more commonly by interactions between them. The genetic contribution to a trait is called the genotype. The outward expression of the genotype is called the phenotype.
Heterozygous.
trait
A genotype is an organism's combination of genes that forms a trait.
A genotype is an organism's combination of genes that forms a trait.
An inherited trait is a feature or characteristic of an organism that has been passed on to it in its genes.
a phenotype is the physical characteristics of an organism based on its genotype.
