An organism that carries two unique genes (alleles) for a trait is called a/an

Organisms that carry two genes or alleles for particular traits are called diploid organisms. Humans are a good example of diploid organisms, which means we get each half of our genes from our parents. A diploid organism carrying two unique alleles for a single trait is called a "heterozygote", while a diploid organism with two identical alleles for a single trait is called a "homozygote".

If these are the missing choices: a. to determine skin temperature, place the back of your hand against the patient's skin.b. determine body temperature by touching the patient's hands and feet.c. skin temperature will tell you very little about this patient's condition or well-being.d. the patient's skin temperature and color will likely be warm and red.my answer is: a. to determine skin temperature, place the back of your hand against the patient's skin. using the back of the hand to check for temperature rather than the palm is more effective because the back of the hand has more nerves that can feel and transmit the temperature than the palm.
