Briefly explain why only chromosomes of a homologous pair can have their alleles referred toas homozygous or heterozygous

1 answer:

6 0

This is due to the fact that only homologous chromosomes would have identical genes located at identical sites on those chromosomes. Otherwise, there would be no connection between the alleles of various genes.

Although the genes and loci of the two members of the homologous pair are similar, the alleles may vary.For instance, both allele possess the genes responsible for the attribute of eye colour. While the one has alleles for the blue-eye trait, other has alleles for the brown-eye trait. The homologous chromosomes are said to be heterozygous in this instance since the alleles are different.

On the other hand, when both alleles for a gene that codes for the blue-eye phenotype are present, it is said to be homozygous.

Flowers tend to respond to stimuli
Stimuli are anything that causes arousal or enables an object to respond or react.

There are many different kinds of stimuli for which is different for every organism, for example, water, light and carbon dioxide are three stimuli and materials needed for photosynthesis in plants to manifest.
In humans, we have nutrients or food, oxygen and water for us to survive. These are stimuli, eyes need light as a stimuli for it see and function. Nasal receptors needs smell as stimuli caused by molecular reactions of an object as a stimuli. And others.

Which two triangles are congruent? Complete the congruence statement.

Rasek [7]

Answer:

Triangles FGH and UVW

Explanation:

For two triangles to be congruent, they must be the same size and shape. We know these two triangles are the same shape because of the hash marks being in the same places and representing the same values on each one.
