What is the difference between a herezygous and a homozygous?

"Heterozygous" and "homozygous" are terms that refer to alleles, which, in genetics determine what trait, from which parent, will appear in the offspring. Alleles can be either Dominant or Recessive. Every organism has two alleles, which can both be dominant, both recessive, or one of each.So,If an organism heterozygous, it has one recessive and one dominant allele.If an organism is homozygous then both of its alleles are the same; you need to specify if they are homozygous recessive (both alleles are recessive) or homozygous dominant (both alleles are dominant).


When both of the alleles of a gene are different what is the individual?

heterozygous


Is the BB genotype heterozygous or homozygous?

Heterozygous


Differentiate between homozygous and heterozygous?

Homozygous refers to having two identical alleles of a particular gene, while heterozygous refers to having two different alleles of a particular gene. In homozygous individuals, both alleles are the same (e.g., AA or aa), while in heterozygous individuals, the alleles are different (e.g., Aa).


What is it called When the heterozygotes display two phenotypes at the same time?

This is known as codominance, where both alleles in a heterozygous individual are expressed equally and simultaneously, resulting in a unique phenotype that shows characteristics of both alleles.


When both alleles can be observed in a phenotype the interaction is called?

When both alleles contribute to the phenotype of a heterozygous the alleles are said to show the dominate alleles and sometimes the recessive but mostly the dominate alleles


What is the difference between heterozygous and homozygous alleles?

You're looking at a gene which contains 2 alleles (meaning variations of that gene). Let's call it "A."Remember that you get 2 copies of EACH gene (one from mom, one from dad).


An organism is called a homozygote if it carries two different alleles?

If both alleles are the same, the organism is homozygous for the trait. ... If one allele is missing, it is hemizygous, and if both alleles are missing, ... An organism is heterozygous


What is an organism with 2 alleles for 1 trait that are different?

The answer to your question, "What is an organism with 2 of the same alleles for a trait called?" is homozygous. it is just homozygous-By SciienceFreak


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


What are both inherited alleles called?

Genetic makeup formed from both inherited alleles together is called a genotype. Homozygous alleles would be a pair of identical alleles for a single trait. Heterozygous is different alleles for a single trait.


Differentiate the terms homozygous and heterozygous?

Homozygous is a description of alleles that are the same (HH,hh): either both dominant or both recessive. Heterozygous is a description of alleles that are different (Hh): one dominant, one recessive.
