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

Meselson and Stahl's experiments proved that DNA replicates by which mode?
Irina18 [472]

Answer:

Semi-conservative

Explanation:

Meselson–Stahl experiment proved that DNA replication is a semiconservative process, feeding E. colo bacteria with different types of Nitrogen isotopes (N14 and N15).

Changing the type of radioactive compound in different times of bacteria grow, they could observe that both of the isotopes were present on the bacteria culture.

Basically, if the bacteria present both of them, the DNA was replicated semiconcervely.

Guess what? they show both! (See the image for more information)
