An individual with two different versions of a gene is genetically . In traits with a simple pattern of inheritance, only the trait conferred by the form of the gene will be visible. The other form of the gene is : it confers a trait that is only visible when the individual is genetically , or has two identical copies of the gene.

heterozygous; dominant; recessive; h.o.mo-zygous

Explanation:

Genetics can be defined as the scientific study of hereditary in living organisms such as humans, animals and plants.

In Genetics, co-dominance can be defined as a phenomenon in which two (2) alleles of the same gene are present in a living organism and both are equally expressed to a degree or simultaneously.

This ultimately implies that, co-dominance is a phenomenon that typically involves the relationship between alleles i.e the two (2) versions of a gene present in living organisms. Also, a single version of a gene expressed by a living organism is referred to as an allele.

Trait can be defined as a distinguishing quality or characteristic of a living thing.

Simply stated, a trait refers to the specific features or characteristics possessed by a living organism. It is essentially transferred from the parent of a living organism to her offspring and as such distinguishes him or her.

Some examples of traits in genetics are colorblindness, handedness, curly hair, height, complexion, weight, hair color, dimples, tongue-roll, etc.

In Genetics, when an individual has two (2) different versions of a gene, he or she is said to be genetically heterozygous.

In traits with a simple pattern of inheritance, only the trait conferred by the dominant form of the gene from the parent organism will be visible in the offspring of a living organism. The other form of the gene is recessive : it confers a trait that is only visible when the individual is genetically , or has two identical copies of the gene.
