Question

When the same gene codes for opposite traits we call them

Answer 1

the genetically inherited condition in which there is a marked deficiency of pigmentation in skin, hair, and eyes.  An individual with these traits is an "albino."  Since the gene for albinism is recessive, it only shows up in the phenotype of homozygous recessivepeople.  This is a pleiotropic trait.

alleles  

alternate forms or varieties of a gene.   The alleles for a trait occupy the same locus or position on homologous chromosomes and thus govern the same trait.  However, because they are different, their action may result in different expressions of that trait.

amino acids  

small molecules that are the components of proteins.  There are 20 different kinds of amino acids in living things.  Proteins are composed of different combinations of amino acids assembled in chain-like molecules.  Amino acids are primarily composed of carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, and nitrogen.
