Question

in the demo, the penny represents a recessive trait and the quarter a dominant trait. what is an organism with one of each called? heterozygous homozygous incompletely dominant sterile

Explanation:

• Heterozygous: An organism with two different alleles (one dominant and one recessive) for a particular trait.
• Homozygous: An organism with two identical alleles (either both dominant or both recessive) for a particular trait.
• Incompletely dominant: A situation where neither allele is completely dominant over the other, resulting in a blended phenotype.
• Sterile: An organism that is unable to reproduce.

In this case, the organism has one recessive trait (penny) and one dominant trait (quarter), which means it has two different alleles. This fits the definition of heterozygous.

Answer:

heterozygous
