When two paired chromosomes harbor the same or identical alleles for a given characteristic at nearby loci, this condition is referred to as homologous (i.e. homologous chromosomes)a diploid organism or cell that has the same allele for both a maternal and paternal gene.

The term "homozygous" refers to the presence of the same or identical alleles for a given trait at related loci on paired chromosomes (i.e. homologous chromosomes). An entity with two sets of chromosomes is said to be diploid. Both sets are inherited; one set is from the mother and the other from the father. Based on their locations, each maternal chromosome can be matched with a corresponding paternal chromosome. Homozygous occurs when the same alleles are present at the loci in the corresponding chromosomes. It indicates that the same trait is coded for by both alleles.

A "homozygous" organism is one that carries two copies of either a pair of dominant alleles (such as AA) or a pair of recessive alleles for a given trait. genuinely reproducing organisms

1) explain how a normal eye accommodates to focus on a nearby object ?
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

1) Accommodation is the process of changing the shape of the lens to focus on near or distant objects.

  • <em>To focus on a near object</em> – the lens becomes thicker, this allows the light rays to refract (bend) more strongly.
  • <em>To focus on a distant object </em>– the lens is pulled thin, this allows the light rays to refract slightly.

Water is essential for the growth of crop plants. But excessive supply of water should be avoided. Give reason.
Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

Soil can become waterlogged. The water can cut off the air supply to the roots and to the organisms that live in the soil. If the roots do not receive enough oxygen, the plants will die because they rely on oxygen to complete photosynthesis.

The hydrogen ion concentration of a solution is indicated by its<br> ___ value.
rosijanka [135]

The hydrogen ion concentration of a solution is indicated by its <u>pH </u>value.

Explanation:

  • A measure of acidity or alkalinity of water soluble substances (pH stands for 'potential of Hydrogen'). A pH value is a number from 1 to 14, with 7 as the middle point.
  • Under normal circumstances this means that the concentration of hydrogen ions in acidic solution can be taken to be equal to the concentration of the acid.
  • The pH is then equal to minus the logarithm of the concentration value.
  • Values below 7 indicate acidity which increases as the number decreases, 1 being the most acidic.
  • The pH of a solution is a measure of hydrogen ion concentration, which in turn is a measure of its acidity.
  • Pure water dissociates slightly into equal concentrations of hydrogen and hydroxyl (OH−) ions. For a neutral solution, [H+] is 10−7, or pH = 7.
