Answer:

An organism is <u><em>homozygous</em></u> for a gene if it has two copies of the same allele for the gene.

The genotype of an organism and the interaction of the genotype with the environment determine the organism’s <u><em>phenotype</em></u> , or observable characteristics.

The law of independent assortment states that the separation of alleles for one gene are independent of that of other genes, unless the genes are<u><em> not linked.</em></u>

Mendel’s law of<u><em> segregation</em></u> governs which allele is expressed in an individual.

Explanation:

A homozygous trait can be described as a trait in which both the alleles of the gene are the same. Heterozygous means that the alleles of the gene will be different.

Genotype is the genetic makeup of an organism where as phenotype of the physical appearance of traits.

Mendel formulated two laws: Law of dominance and Law of Independent Assortment.

Answer:

1. homozygous

2. phenotype

3. linked

4. dominance

5. (a) brown, (b) brown, (c) green, (d) brown, (e) blue

6. The law of segregation states that each organism obtains one allele for a given gene from each parent in the reproductive process.

7. Mendel conducted hybridization studies looking at how cross-breeding of pea plants led to offspring with various characteristics. He wanted to understand how traits were passed from parent plants to their offspring.

The estimated heritability of 48 percent for neuroticism in the population supports the claim that Group of answer choices the p
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

the variability in neuroticism is due partly to genetic variability in the population.

Explanation:  

In population genetics, heritability (h) is defined as the amount of the phenotypic variation attributable to genetic factors rather than environmental factors.

Mathematically, h is calculated by using the following equation: H2 = Vg/Vp, where Vg is the variation in genotype, while Vp is the variation in phenotype.

An H value close to zero (0) indicates a very low heritability (i.e., the phenotype depends on the environmental differences between individuals), while an H close to one (1) indicates very high heritability (i.e., the phenotype is firstly dependent on genetic factors).

How do enzymes act as catalyst to speed up biological reactions
Alona [7]

Enzymes are biological catalysts. ... Thus enzymes speed up reactions by lowering activation energy. Many enzymes change shape when substrates bind. This is termed "induced fit", meaning that the precise orientation of the enzyme required for catalytic activity can be induced by the binding of the substrate.on:

How is pseudoscience different from science​
inn [45]

Answer: I guess you can say pseudoscience is "fake science" in science.

Explanation:In conclusion, <u>ancient astronomers</u> think that aliens had made civilization on earth. The  <u>key detail</u> they are missing is that there was no <u>evidence</u> so this causes their claim to be pseudoscience. You may have a claim but can you back it up with <u><em>evidence and reasoning</em></u> or in other words can you show that your claim and evidence connect with a reasoning?
