An individual having two different alleles of a specific gene is described as being Heterozygous for that specific trait.

You have a heterozygous genotype for that gene if the two versions differ. Being heterozygous for hair color, for example, means you have one allele for red hair and one allele for brown hair. The interaction of the two alleles influences which traits are expressed.

Being homozygous for a gene means you inherited two identical copies. It is the inverse of a heterozygous genotype, in which the alleles differ. People with recessive characteristics, such as blue eyes or red hair, are always homozygous for that gene. In genetics, heterozygous means having inherited different versions (alleles) of a genomic marker from each biological parent. As a result, a person who is heterozygous for a genomic marker has two distinct versions of that marker.

How long has the water on earth been around?
SSSSS [86.1K]
The study pushes back the clock on the origin of Earth's water by hundreds of millions of years, to around 4.6 billion years ago, when all the worlds of the inner solar system were still forming. Scientists had suspected that our planet formed dry, with high-energy impacts creating a molten surface on the infant Earth.

Answer: 4.6 billion years.

A student conducts an experiment. He mixes two chemicals in a beaker at 30 ° Celsius. Then, he repeats the experiment at 45 ° Ce
Salsk061 [2.6K]

The most likely conclusion the student will make would be that increasing temperature increases the rate of reaction.

<h3>Effects of temperature on reaction rates</h3>

The rate of reaction of a system is directly proportional to the temperature of the system.

This is because the kinetic energy of the reactant's molecules is increased by increasing the temperature of the system. Thus, reactant molecules collide more and this leads to more reactions.

Thus, increasing the temperature of a system moderately also increases the rate of reaction in the system. Too much increase in temperature, however, can destroy the structures of reactants.
