There are approximately 25,000 genes contained on the 46 chromosomes in each cell of the human body. This means that one chromosome contains thousands of genes. A person can have normal chromosomes in number and structure, but still have a disease or condition caused by a mutation in one or more of the genes on the chromosomes. A single gene defect usually does not cause the chromosome structure or number to be abnormal. Similarly, a person can have normal genes; however, if the person has extra copies of genes due to a chromosome abnormality, then those extra copies can cause the genes to not work properly.

Llana [10]

The genotype of the short-haired parents that produced some long hair offsprings is probably heterozygous.

<h3>What is heterozygosity?</h3>

Heterozygous means an organism which has two different alleles of a given gene.

An organism that is heterozygous posseses two different alleles of the same gene. For example, in this gene coding for hair length;

  • L represents short hair (dominant)
  • l represents long hair (recessive)

Therefore, if two short-haired parents produce 100 offsprings and 25 of them are long-haired, it means that they were probably heterozygous for the short hair.

How does the acidity of acid rain compare to the acidity of natural rainwater
jekas [21]

Answer:

The acidity level of water is measured by the pH scale. Pure water has a pH of 7, which is neutral. However, natural rainwater actually has a pH of 5.6 because it gets exposed to the gases in the atmosphere, making it a bit acidic. True acid rain will have a pH level measuring from 5.0-5.5.
