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

Compared to the amount of genetic information
miskamm [114]

Answer:

c. One half as much.

Explanation:

The amount of genetic information contained in a normal human sperm cell (23 chromosomes) is one-half as much the information contained in a normal human body cell (46 chromosomes). Sperm cells are produced during meiosis, a specialized division process that <u>reduces the number of chromosomes in half</u>, generating haploid daughter cells.

BIOLOGY GENETICS HELP
Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

Incomplete dominance can be described as a phenomenon in which the dominant trait is not completely dominant over the recessive trait. Incomplete dominance can be determined when the dominant and the recessive trait merge to form a third type of trait. A new phenotype arises due to such a cross.

For example, when a black-feathered chicken is crossed with a white chicken and their alleles shown incomplete dominance, then offsprings having blue feathers can be seen.

Which connective tissue layer directly surrounds each axon in a nerve?
gregori [183]

Answer:

Endonerium

Explanation:

The endoneurium (also called endoneurial channel, endoneurial sheath, endoneurial tube, or Henle's sheath) is a layer of delicate connective tissue around the myelin sheath of each myelinated nerve fiber in the peripheral nervous system. Its component cells are called endoneurial cells.The endoneuria with their enclosed nerve fibers are bundled into groups called nerve fascicles, each fascicle within its own protective sheath called a perineurium. In sufficiently large nerves multiple fascicles, each with its blood supply and fatty tissue, may be bundled within yet another sheath, the epineurium.
