Alleles are letters that represent dominant and recessive traits.

A capital letter represents a dominant trait
A lowercase letter represents a recessive trait.

Dominant traits over shadow the recessive ones. This is known as complete dominance.

Referring to your questions let's us the alleles HH, Hh, and hh for the height of the pea plants.

But what do those letters mean?

HH = homozygous dominant (Tall)
Homo means same.

hh = homozygous recessive (Short)

Now this is different: here's Hh.
There's a capital AND lowercase letter.
This means that the plant carries the gene for tall and short plants, and can pass on either trait to the offspring.

BUT the dominant always over shadows the recessive. So Hh is a tall plant.

Hh = heterozygous (hybrid) (Tall)
You can interpret hetero meaning different.

Now I hope you're with me!

For question two it asks if a short plant can ever be a hybrid.
Referring to what I just said, that answer would be no.
Because there is no dominant trait to over shadow the recessive.

And short plants have the hh alleles, and they are homozygous NOT heterozygous (hybrid).

I hope this helps, and makes sense! If you have any questions please let me know. Genetics can be confusing.

Being Tall is a Dominant trait, even if the alleles are Tt (heterozygous), the pea plant would be tall. But if the alleles are tt (homozygous recessive) the pea plant would be short. TT would mean homozygous dominant are result in a pure tall pea plant.

What would happen to the skin cells if mitosis did not take place

Katena32 [7]

The cells would cease to function <span>after a relatively short amount of time (a few years at best, depending on the amount of cells that part normally has). A living being's body parts would also never grow. They would stay the same size since they were born. The only good result is that without mitosis, cancer wouldn't occur.</span>

A man who is aware that he is a silent carrier of the FMO3 ""fish odor syndrome"" gene has children with a woman who is ""normal

Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

This could be possible if the wife is a carrier of the FMO3 allele. Therefore the two carrier parents must have passed the defective alleles to the child, who now possessed the gene for the FMO3, and said to be dominant for the fish odor.

In genetics a Carrier is an individual who inherited a defective allele (FMO3) , but do not show the manifestations of the allele, or symptoms of the diseases attributed to it. Therefore the wife is a Carrier for the allele if the child could show this symptoms of fish odor.
