When two cells have the same gene type then they are considered homozygous.

Are heterozygus and homozygus genes?

"Heterozygus" and homozygus" are adjectives that describe the relationship of genes, they are not genes themselves.

What does homozygus mean?

Homo means same so in a Punnett square, if one organism's gene is either BB or bb- the same- it is homozygus. When it is heterozygus, it would be Bb- or different 2 genes. Homozygus is an individual having two identical alleles of a particular gene or genes and so breeding true for the corresponding characteristic.

How do Beetle traits vary within the species?

well it depends if they are hetrozygous or homozygus. It could be figured out with a punnet square of 2 parent beatles such as brown could be Bb for hetrozygus and green could be gg for homozygus when u cross them it depends. the first baby would be brown and then the brown would be the dominent trait the green would disapear in the first batch of 4 beetle babies all the way the the second batch would have 3 brown and 1 green.


What is the definition of homozygus?

Homozygous -It is the characteristic of having two identical alleles at the same locus of sister chromatids.homozygous means having identical alleles at corresponding chromosomal locus or the specific site of a particular gene on its chromosome


Is the trait TT heterozygous or homozygous?

Yes.A homozygous genotype is a gene with two identical alleles. Recessive genes are represented by a lowercase letter. Thus, a homozygous recessive genotype would be two identical genes with lowercase letters.


What is individuals having two of the same alleles of a gene?

A monohybrid cross is a cross between two individuals that are homozygous for different alleles of the same gene. An example is a cross between a red-eyed (RR) fruit fly and a white-eyed (WW) fruitfly.


Can b-positive parents have child with o-positive blood?

Believe it or not, the answer is YES! Each parent carries what are known as alleles for blood protiens, which can be A, B or O. A and B are considered Dominant, and if one of them is present, the persons blood type will be the same as the domininant alelle. O is recessive, and unless neither A nor B are present for the other allele, the "O" will not be "visible". Folks that have AB blood type have codominance (one of each dominant allele). The rest of us who are either A or B (I'm A!) have one of the following combinations: AA (homozygus) Ao (Heterozygus) BB (Homozygus) Bo (Heterozygus). It's tough to draw a table in this space, but here's how it works when two people have a child (at least as far as blood type goes!) THe Mom's alleles are listed on the top here (for this example, they don't have to be) and the Dad's are listed down the left: Here we're looking at a heterozygus "A" Dominant mom and a heterozygus "B" dominant dad. Mom and dad each "donate" an allele to their child, and it can occur in one of four ways: the four possible ways are inside the square A o B AB Bo o Ao oo What this tells us is that with an A mom and a B dad, there's a 25% chance the baby will be AB, 25% chance B, 25% chance A, and 25% O. That said, here's some possibilities for the questioner: Even though I've never met them or tested their blood, I can be 100% sure that IF they truly are the parents of a type "O" baby, then they each are heterozygus dominant for the B allele (see below) B o B BB Bo o Bo oo That tells us that with two "B" parents, there's a 25% chance the offspring will be "O". As to the "Positive" or "Negative" aspect of blood type, that's a reference to the Rh factor. This is a little more complicated, but as long as one parent is positive, the baby will be positive. If both parents are positive, there's no doubt the baby will be too. So, if the questioner had said that they had an "O-" baby, I'd have to blow the whistle on that one! Congrats on the new kiddo!


What are the possible genotypes of the parents of a child with Rett Syndrome?

The parents have normal sex chromosome genotypes, XX and XY. The chromosomal error that causes Klinefelter's syndrome occurs during the formation of either of the parent's gametes during meiosis.


How does the DNA hold all of the information for making your traits?

DNA are giant molecules called macromolecules. Segments of DNA which are units of heredity are called genes. Thus, genes are fragments of DNA. Complementary genes in a pair are called alleles. One allele controls a specific trait.
