What is a person who is heterozygous for a recessive disorder called?
Disease Development If the alleles are heterozygous recessive, the faulty allele would be recessive and not express itself. Instead, the person would be a carrier.
What is the term that describes a gene that will always be expressed in male mammals?
Carrier. Which term describes a gene that will always be expressed in male mammals? Sex-linked gene.
Is heterozygous and heterozygote same?
Heterozygous. A diploid organism is heterozygous at a gene locus when its cells contain two different alleles (one wild-type allele and one mutant allele) of a gene. The cell or organism is called a heterozygote specifically for the allele in question, and therefore, heterozygosity refers to a specific genotype.
What allele will be displayed in a heterozygote?
Alleles contribute to the organism’s phenotype, which is the outward appearance of the organism. Some alleles are dominant or recessive. When an organism is heterozygous at a specific locus and carries one dominant and one recessive allele, the organism will express the dominant phenotype.
What is a heterozygous recessive genotype?
An organism with one dominant allele and one recessive allele is said to have a heterozygous genotype. In our example, this genotype is written Bb. Finally, the genotype of an organism with two recessive alleles is called homozygous recessive. In the eye color example, this genotype is written bb.
What term describes the expression of an organism’s genes?
In a broad sense, the term “genotype” refers to the genetic makeup of an organism; in other words, it describes an organism’s complete set of genes.
What is another word to describe a heterozygous organism?
another word for homozygous. Heterozygous. two different alleles (Bb) Hybrid. another word for heterozygous.
Which of these is a heterozygous condition?
When there are two different alleles the condition is called heterozygous, whereas similar alleles form the homozygous condition. The rest are showing a homozygous condition. So, the correct answer is D “Tt”.
