What term describes an individual that has a dominant and a recessive allele for a trait?
Heterozygous
What happens when a ressive allele meetsup with a dominate allele?
The genotype is said to be heterozygous and the dominant trait will be expressed in the individual.
What is a person who has one recessive allele for a trait and one dominant allele for the same trait and is able to pass in the trait on to their offspring?
That is heterozygous. Some scientist call these "hybrids"(no joke)The person is heterozygous for that trait and will have the dominant phenotype.An organism with both a dominant and recessive allele for a specific trait is called an heterozygote. They are heterozygous for this trait.
What is it called having a dominate and recessive allele?
If an individual has one recessive allele and one dominant allele, they are known as heterozygous. The dominant trait will be expressed.
How do you know a homozygous trait from a heterozygous trait?
A homozygous trait is controlled by only one kind of allele, while a heterozygous trait is controlled by multiple allele types.
What is an allele that produce a trait in the heterozygous condition is?
homozygous
True or False In heterozygous individuals only the recessive allele is expressed?
In heterozygous individuals, only the dominant allele is expressed. The recessive allele is present, but not expressed
Is an allele that produces a trait in the heterozygous condition recessive?
No. A recessive allele will not be expressed phenotypically in the heterozygous state. A recessive allele can only be expressed phenotypically in the homozygous state.
Is a carrier homozygous or heterozygous?
No, because he or she cannot pass the gene on to his or her offspring (because he or she does not have a copy of the gene).
What is an individual called that has two different alleles for a trait?
Someone who possesses both a dominant and a recessive form of a gene. So if mum has blue eyes (say it's recessive and expressed as "bb") and dad has brown eyes (say it's dominant and he's homozygous dominant: BB), then all of their children would have heterozygous brown eyes (Bb).
An organism carrying one dominant and one recessive allele for particular trait would be for that trait?
Heterozygous.
When an organism is carrying one dominant and one recessive allele for a particular trait what would be that trait?
Heterozygous
