What else can I help you with?
What is homozygous-?
Every gene has a dominant and recessive allele, homozygous is just when a gene has either two dominant alleles or two recessive alleles.
Two identical alleles for a particular gene is what?
Having two identical alleles for a particular gene is known as homozygous. This means that both copies of the gene are the same, either both dominant or both recessive. Homozygosity can result in a specific trait being expressed, depending on the nature of the alleles.
What heterozygous or homozygous?
Breaking it down:Hetero means different.Homo means same.Zygous refers to how similar two alleles are for a trait in an organism.Use:Heterozygous and homozygous are terms used to describe a cell determined on the status of its alleles for a trait.You would describe a cell as Homozygous when both alleles for a given trait are the same. (Genotype example: YY,yy)You would describe a cell as Heterozygous when both alleles for a given trait are different. (Genotype example: Yy)In use:A green sweet pea: Homozygous or Heterozygous?Taking my knowledge of sweet peas, the color green is recessive in sweet peas while the color yellow is dominant.Using your knowledge on recessive genotypes....(Hint: A pea with a genotype of Yy would be yellow... Bigger hint: To have a recessive trait you would need two alleles from a recessive trait that are the identical; genotype yy)Yep, you got it.A green sweet pea would be Homozygous.Why?Because the color green is a recessive trait in sweet peas. To have a recessive trait shown, the cell would have to have two identical alleles of that recessive trait.And what qualifies a cell as homozygous? When both alleles for a given trait are the same.BINGO!There you go.I hope this helps.~Monique G.9th gradeCA, USA
What are the different forms of a gene for any given trust?
alleles
Explain segregation of alleles using pea plants?
if the pea plant has 2 recessive alleles then the plant is gonna come out short.but if it has 1 recessive and one dominant allele then the plant turns out tall, because the dominant allele can be present without the recessive allele.
What is homozyous?
"Homozygous" refers to an individual having two identical alleles for a particular gene. This can either be two dominant alleles (homozygous dominant) or two recessive alleles (homozygous recessive). Homozygosity increases the likelihood of genetic traits being expressed.
What is homozygous-?
Every gene has a dominant and recessive allele, homozygous is just when a gene has either two dominant alleles or two recessive alleles.
Are alleles recessive?
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.
Two identical alleles for a particular gene is what?
Having two identical alleles for a particular gene is known as homozygous. This means that both copies of the gene are the same, either both dominant or both recessive. Homozygosity can result in a specific trait being expressed, depending on the nature of the alleles.
What are the geno type?
A genotype refers to the genetic makeup of an organism, specifically the alleles it possesses for a particular gene or set of genes. It determines the hereditary traits that an organism can pass on to its offspring. Genotypes can be homozygous (two identical alleles) or heterozygous (two different alleles) for a given trait. Understanding genotypes is crucial in fields like genetics, agriculture, and medicine, as they influence phenotypes and biological functions.
Where are alleles for a given trait inherited from?
The alleles for a given trait are inherited from an individual's parents.
Where the alleles for a given trait are inherit from?
The alleles for a given trait are inherited from an individual's parents.

What organisms is heterzygous?
A heterozygous organism has two different alleles for a given gene. The opposite of a heterozygous organism is a homozygous organism which has two alleles that are the same for that specific gene. Genes can exist in more than one form and the different forms are called alleles. Alleles code for different types of the same characteristic
Where the alleles for given trait are inherited from?
The alleles for a given trait are inherited from an individual's parents.
What are the different forms of a gene for any given trust?
alleles
Stronger of two alleles which show up most often?
This question is incomplete. To answer, the name of the alleles have to be given. Unless, you are asking about recessive and dominate genes (alleles).
