The two different alleles on the homologous chromosomes are referred to as "heterozygous alleles." Each chromosome carries one allele for a specific gene, and when the alleles differ, the organism is said to be heterozygous for that gene. In contrast, if both alleles are the same, the organism is termed "homozygous."
What else can I help you with?
When a pair of chromosomes contains different alleles for a trait that trait is called a what when a trait has two identical alleles it is called?
2 different alelles - heterozygous Same alelles - homozygous
Two different forms of the same gene are called?
Alleles
Matched chromosomes carrying information about the same characteristics in the organism are called chromosomes?
Homologous chromosomes. They are two chromosomes, one inherited from each parent, that have the same genes at the same loci but may have different alleles.
What are two copies of a gene called?
Two copies of a gene are called alleles. Alleles can be the same (homozygous) or different (heterozygous).
What term is used when both alleles are different?
The condition called in a case when you have a two different types of alleles is called as Heterozygous and when this is exactly the opposite that is when it has the alleles for the same source we describe such a condition as a Homozygous. This two terms are of most importance when you take the genetics
When a pair of chromosomes contains different alleles for a trait that trait is called a what when a trait has two identical alleles it is called?
2 different alelles - heterozygous Same alelles - homozygous
Traits are determined by pairs of genes called?
The two chromosomes (two "X" shapes) that are in a pair are generally called "homologous chromosomes". A pair of "chromatids" make up the two arms of a single chromosome.
An allele is either what two things?
Alleles are different forms of a gene found on chromosomes on sites called loci
An organism that has two diffrent alleles for a trait?
Is called a heterozygote (hetero- meaning different, and zygote being the sex cell). Heterozygotes have two different alleles of a particular gene, one in each of their sets of chromosomes. As apposed to homozygotes which have two of the same alleles of a gene.
Two different forms of the same gene are called?
Alleles
Matched chromosomes carrying information about the same characteristics in the organism are called chromosomes?
Homologous chromosomes. They are two chromosomes, one inherited from each parent, that have the same genes at the same loci but may have different alleles.
What kind of alleles for a gene are carried on homologous chromosomes?
The kind of alleles for a gene that are carried on homologous chromosomes are many. These are for similar genes which may be slightly different like the eyes, hairline, dentures and so much more.
What are two copies of a gene called?
Two copies of a gene are called alleles. Alleles can be the same (homozygous) or different (heterozygous).
What is the relationship between alleles and chromosomes?
All chromosomes consist of genes and non coding material. Animals with chromosomes arranged in the double helix pattern have two almost identical genes on the chromosomes opposite from the other. When those two genes in particular are discussed, they are called alleles. Frequently one is expressed and one is not, or one is dominant and the other is not.
What term is used when both alleles are different?
The condition called in a case when you have a two different types of alleles is called as Heterozygous and when this is exactly the opposite that is when it has the alleles for the same source we describe such a condition as a Homozygous. This two terms are of most importance when you take the genetics
1Normal human lung cells contain two copies of chromosome 3 Together these are called a pair of homologous chromosomes How are homologous chromosomes similar and how are they different from one ano?
Homologous chromosomes have all the same genes however they may have different alleles (versions) of those genes.
An organism is heterozygous at two genetic loci on different chromosomes?
Two different alleles for a trait.
