what is the difference between pure genes and hybrid genes?
6127
If an organism has one of the same type of allele on each of its chromosomes, that organism has a pure trait. If an organism has two different types of alleles on its chromosomes, that organism has a hybrid trait.

The main difference in alleles between parent cell and daughter cells is that in mitosis, alleles of parent cell and daughter cells are genetically identical whereas, in meiosis, they are genetically different. That means; genetic recombination occurs through chromosomal crossing-over during meiosis.

heterozygous. Genes come in pairs, called alleles, and each pair is located in a specific position (or locus) on a chromosome. If the two alleles at a locus are identical to each other, they are homozygous; if they are different from one another, they are heterozygous.

Genes are segments of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) that contain the code for a specific protein that functions in one or more types of cells in the body. Chromosomes are structures within cells that contain a person's genes. Genes are contained in chromosomes, which are in the cell nucleus.

A species is a group of organisms with similar features that can reproduce with one another in nature and produce fertile offspring. A hybrid is an individual formed by mating between unlike forms, usually genetically differentiated populations or species.

Mutations Are Recessive or Dominant Different forms of a gene (e.g., normal and mutant) are referred to as alleles. Since diploid organisms carry two copies of each gene, they may carry identical alleles, that is, be homozygous for a gene, or carry different alleles, that is, be heterozygous for a gene.

A tumor suppressor gene is like the brake pedal on a car. ... An important difference between oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes is that oncogenes result from the activation (turning on) of proto-oncogenes, but tumor suppressor genes cause cancer when they are inactivated (turned off).

A gene is made of a unique sequence of DNA bases; it is like a message containing a unique combination of letters. This message is translated into information for protein production. A protein is a folded chain of amino acids in a specific order; up to 20 different amino acids exist.

Linked genes are never separated. Crossing over produces recombinants. Genes are located in the chromosomes in a linear fashion.

DNA. DNA is the molecule that is the hereditary material in all living cells. Genes are made of DNA, and so is the genome itself. A gene consists of enough DNA to code for one protein, and a genome is simply the sum total of an organism's DNA.

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.

In linkage, two or more genes linked together are always inherited together in the same combination for more than two generations, whereas in recombination the genetic material is exchanged between different organisms which leads to the production of offsprings with the combination of traits.
563360
Genes that are located on the same chromosome and that tend to be inherited together are called linked genes because the DNA sequence containing the genes is passed along as a unit during meiosis unless they are separated by crossing over.

An allele is a combination of one, two or more genes which together bear a single characteristic. Alleles can be dominant or recessive. A genotype is a combination of two or more alleles and bears a phenotype. A genotype can be homozygous or heterozygous and can contain one or more alleles.

Cloning allows would‐be parents to give their children the same genes as a pre‐existing person, whereas genetic engineering allows them to give their children genes that have been intentionally designed, modified or selected in the laboratory for some particular purpose.

If both alleles are are identical, the organism is said to be homozygous for that trait. ... Likewise, a purebred short plant has two short alleles and is said to be homozygous short. If the two alleles are different, the plant is said to be a hybrid or heterozygous for that trait.

A gene is the basic physical and functional unit of heredity. Genes are made up of DNA. Some genes act as instructions to make molecules called proteins. ... Most genes are the same in all people, but a small number of genes (less than 1 percent of the total) are slightly different between people.
