An organism with two identical alleles for a given triat is:
Correct answer: A. Homozygous
- A. Homozygous
- B. Dominant
- C. Heterozygous
- D. Hermaphrodite
Explanation
When both alleles of a gene pairin an organism are same the organismis is homozygous for that gene pair. If both alleles of a gene pair are different, The condition is called hetrozygous. If both male and female sex organs are present in body of same organism, the condition is called as hamaphorodite.

About Inheritance
Mendel's laws explain segregation, independent assortment and the prediction of genetic ratios using alleles, genotypes and phenotypes. The chapter also covers linked genes, recombination and crossing over during meiosis, then applies pedigree reasoning to X-linked recessive traits, which show different inheritance patterns in males and females.
