What does hetrozygous and homozygous mean

Biology
1 answer:
natali 33 [55]3 years ago
5 0
In genetics when an organism is heterozygous that means that it contains 2 different alleles for a specific gene, heterozygous refers to the genotype 
Homozygous means the organism carries 2 of the same alleles.

For example there are two alleles for the gene of eye color 
B- is the dominant allele for brown eyes 
b- is the recessive allele for blue

So if a person's genotype is like Bb then he is heterozygous
but if he is like BB or bb then he is homozygous

Which of the following is not a physiological mechanism regulated by timing?
Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

Viral reproduction in a host cell.

Slow down its metabolic rate and lower its body temperature

Explanation:

Viral reproduction in a host cell is not associated with the physiological mechanism regulated by timing. The viral reproduction occurs in the host cell whenever the virus enters the host cell. The virus attaches itself to a host cell and injects its genetic material into it. For reproduction, virus use resources of the host cell to make more viruses and spreads in the neighboring cells. This reproduction does not depend on the specific time, it occurs when it penetrates in the host cell. Skunk slow down its metabolic rate and lower its body temperature when there is extreme cold and food shortages during the long winter months
