Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
An organism with two different alleles for a trait is said to be:
A
recessive
B
hybrid
C
dominant
D
purebred
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A hybrid organism is one that is heterozygous, which means that is carries two different alleles at a particular genetic position, or locus. Therefore, a dihybrid organism is one that is heterozygous at two different genetic loci.

Detailed explanation-2: -If the alleles are different, the individual is heterozygous.

Detailed explanation-3: -Organisms that have two identical alleles for a particular trait are said to be homozygous.

Detailed explanation-4: -Heterozygous refers to having different alleles for a particular trait. If the two versions are different, you have a heterozygous genotype for that gene. The relationship between the two alleles affects which traits are expressed.

Detailed explanation-5: -Different versions of a gene are called alleles. Alleles are described as either dominant or recessive depending on their associated traits.
