What term is used to describe organisms that pass the same form of trait over many generations?

Evolution is defined as the change in the inherited traits of a population of organisms through successive generations.

What is it called when organisms pass traits to their offspring?

The transmission of characteristics from parents to offspring is called heredity, and the characteristics that are inherited can be predicted.

What is an organism that always produces the same traits of generation after generation?

A true-breeding organism, sometimes also called a purebred, is an organism that always passes down certain phenotypic traits (i.e. physically expressed traits) to its offspring of many generations.

What term is used to show different forms of the same trait in a species?

Genetic variation is the presence of differences in sequences of genes between individual organisms of a species.

What term is used to describe when both alleles are the same for a trait?

If the two alleles are the same, the individual is homozygous for that gene. If the alleles are different, the individual is heterozygous. Though the term allele was originally used to describe variation among genes, it now also refers to variation among non-coding DNA sequences.

What are the genotypes of the offspring?

An offspring's genotype is the result of the combination of genes in the sex cells or gametes (sperm and ova) that came together in its conception. One sex cell came from each parent. Sex cells normally only have one copy of the gene for each trait (e.g., one copy of the Y or G form of the gene in the example above).

Which of the following terms is used to describe the offspring of a cross of two true breeding parents that differ in one or more traits?

When fertilization occurs between two true-breeding parents that differ in only one characteristic, the process is called a monohybrid cross, and the resulting offspring are monohybrids.

What vocabulary term refers to the offspring when it possesses the same trait for both genes?

Homologous chromosome — paired chromosomes with genes fro the same traits arranged in the same order. Homozygous — when there are two identical alleles for a trait. Hybrid — offspring formed by parents having different forms of a specific trait.

What term refers to the gene that is expressed when two different genes for a trait are present in a gene pair?

An organism which has two different alleles of the gene is called heterozygous. Phenotypes (the expressed characteristics) associated with a certain allele can sometimes be dominant or recessive, but often they are neither.

Which vocabulary term means refers to the genetic makeup of an offspring?

Agenotypeis the genetic makeup of an individual organism. Biologists use the term genotype to distinguish from phenotype, which consists of the observable characteristics of an organism. Biology, Genetics. 61.

What is the term heterozygous mean?

(HEH-teh-roh-ZY-gus JEE-noh-tipe) The presence of two different alleles at a particular gene locus. A heterozygous genotype may include one normal allele and one mutated allele or two different mutated alleles (compound heterozygote).

What is the term genotype?

A genotype is an individual's collection of genes. The term also can refer to the two alleles inherited for a particular gene. ... The expression of the genotype contributes to the individual's observable traits, called the phenotype.

When a gene pair in an organism contains two identical alleles the organism is considered to be?

An organism in which both the genes (allele) for a given character are identical is said to be homozygous.

What is the relation between the terms allele locus gene and genotype?

Each gene occupies a specific locus (so the terms locus and gene are often used interchangeably). Each locus will have an allelic form (allele). The complete set of alleles (at all loci of interest) in an individual is its genotype.

What is genotype example?

Genotype examples

A gene encodes eye color. ... If the child inherits two different alleles (heterozygous) then they will have brown eyes. For the child to have blue eyes, they must be homozygous for the blue eye allele.
