Which term describes an organism that has two identical alleles for a particular trait?
- A.Heterozygous
- B.Hemizygous
- C.Homozygous
- D.Hybrid
Show correct answer & step-by-step solution
Correct answer: C — Homozygous
Solution
- Alleles are alternative forms of a gene.
- Homozygous individuals possess two identical alleles for a specific locus.
- Heterozygous individuals possess two different alleles.
- Hence the answer is (C).
