question 7
an organism that always produces the same traits in its offspring is called __.
a dominant
b homozygous
c polygenic
d purebred
A homozygous organism has two identical alleles for a particular gene. When it reproduces, it passes on the same alleles, resulting in offspring with the same traits. Dominant refers to an allele that masks the recessive one. Polygenic means a trait is controlled by multiple genes. Purebred is a more general - term often used in breeding, and homozygous is a more precise genetic term for an organism that always passes on the same traits.
