I think you are referring to the term homozygous. This term applies not to the entire organism but is typically used with regard to one trait. For example, homozygous tall or homozygous dwarf when referring to height in peas. The term heterozygous refers to having one dominant and one recessive gene, or at least to having two different forms of the gene.

Garh! They be called "heterozygous" matey. Arrr! Animals can also be heterozygous, ye landlubber!

Plants don't have just two genes, and it's alleles that can be dominant and recessive. When any gene contains a recessive and dominant gene, the genotype is called hetrozygous.

An organism with two different alleles for a single trait is said to be heterozygous?

A heterozygous is a hybrid of genes. It has a dominant and recessive gene. The dominant gene covers over the recessive trait, making the individual have the dominant trait. (trait are alleles...) or apex ans:two

Homozygous dominant for two dominant genes or homozygous recessive for two recessive genes.


Is turners recessive or dominant?

It is neither recessive nor dominant because it is a chromosomal disorder and not just a problem present in a single gene.


Is it possible to have a dominate recessive trait?

no, because dominant is different from recessive, its impossible to have a dominant-recessive trait because the dominant is when only one copy of the gene is present, while in the recessive a trait that must be contributed by both parents in order to appear in the offspring, in short the dominant is for single parent, while in the recessive is a product of two parents.


Dominant and recessive genes?

In genetics, dominant genes are expressed over recessive genes when present together. Dominant genes mask the expression of recessive genes. The dominant gene is represented by an uppercase letter, while the recessive gene is represented by a lowercase letter.


When a organism has two different alleles coding for a single trait it is?

heterozygous. This means the organism has inherited two different versions of a gene that code for the same trait. One allele may be dominant and the other recessive, influencing the organism's phenotype.


Why is an organism genotype may be homozygous dominant homozygous recessive or heterozygous but never heterozygous recessive?

An organism can be homozygous dominant (AA), homozygous recessive (aa), or heterozygous (Aa) because these combinations involve different versions of the same gene. Heterozygous recessive (aA) does not occur because genes are typically inherited in pairs, and the lowercase letter represents the recessive allele, which would make the organism homozygous recessive (aa) instead of heterozygous recessive (aA).
