An individual with two different alleles for a given gene is referred to as a: A. Phenotype B. Homozygote C. Genotype D. Heterozygote
The correct answer is heterozygote.
Reason: Hetero stands for different. In this condition, an organism shows two different alleles. In genetic terminology, a heterozygote is represented by a capital letter and a small letter. For example, the heterozygote genotype for the phenotype tall can be written as Tt. Here the allele T is dominant over the other allele "t". In homozygous condition, both will have same alleles and they are represented by 2 capital or two small letters. For tall TT and for dwarf tt.

An individual has two different alleles of a particular gene. What’s true of the two alleles? A. They’re present on different chromosomes of a homological pair B. They code for slightly different forms of the same protein C. They’re separated from each other, into different daughter cells, in meiosis D. A and B are correct E. A, B, and C are correct
Different alleles for a gene that are both expressed in the phenotype of a heterozygote are: O Subject to complete dominance O Incompletely dominant O Codominant O Heterozygous dominant

PRE-LAB QUESTIONS - Genetics - Lab #9 1. Humans inherit two alleles for every gene. For an example, gene "R" provides the instructions for face shape. The dominant allele for the gene is denoted as R and the recessive allele for the gene is denoted as r. The dominant phenotype is a round face shape and the recessive phenotype is a square face shape. Use this information to answer the questions below: What is the genotype of a homozygous dominant...
Consider a locus with two alleles - A and a. These alleles are codominant, meaning that the fitness of the heterozygote is halfway between either homozygote. Consider further a population of randomly mating green frogs where the genotype counts are AA = 500, Aa = 250, and aa = 250. In this population the relative fitnesses of each genotype are AA = 1.00, Aa = 0.80, and aa = 0.60. What is the mean relative fitness within this population? Please...

The Meritahti phenotype, on the planet Snnooozze is determined by one gene that has two alleles in the population. The alleles are: M (dominant allele) and m (recessive or wild-type allele). Previous studies have documented the following penetrance values: Pr(Meritahti phenotype | MM) = 0.67; Pr(Meritahti phenotype | Mm) = 0.52; Pr(Meritahti phenotype | mm) = 0.00. If a true breeding Snnooozzer who has the Meritahti phenotype mates with a true breeding Snnooozzer who has the wild-type phenotype, and two...
