Definition:
Having two different alleles of a particular gene or genes.
(an Allele is a variant form of a gene.)
Simplification:
If the organism has one copy of two different alleles, it is heterozygous.
Eg: T and t
<em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em>(</em><em>T</em><em> </em><em>for </em><em>tall</em><em> </em><em>and</em><em> </em><em>t</em><em> </em><em>for</em><em> </em><em>short</em><em>)</em>
Example:
<u><em>Pea</em><em> </em><em>Plants</em></u>
Pea plants can have red flowers and either be homozygous dominant (red-red), or heterozygous (red-white). If they have white flowers, then they are homozygous recessive (white-white). Carriers are always heterozygous.

Answer: ATP ( adenosine triphosphate) is considered as the energy currency of the cell as it stores energy in the cell. It is an example of chemical potential energy because energy is stored in the high energy containing phosphoanhydride bond (between phosphate molecules in the ATP).
Oil and natural gas result from the decomposition of microscopic marine plants and animals which lived in the geological past times, tens of millions years ago. When these creatures died they accumulated on the sea floor and got covered under new layers of sediments. As they become buried deeper and deeper, heat and pressure began to rise transforming this biomass into oil and gas.
