Biology
1 answer:
natali 33 [55]2 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

Answer:

Percent error = 8.3%

Explanation:

Given data:

Accepted value of specific gravity = 7.2

Measured value of specific gravity =  7.8

Percent error = ?

Solution:

Percent error = measured value - accepted value / accepted value × 100

Now we will put the values in formula.

Percent error = 7.8 - 7.2/7.2 × 100

Percent error = 0.6/7.2 × 100

Percent error = 0.083 × 100

Percent error = 8.3%

Umnica [9.8K]

Mycorrhizal symbionts is the symbiotic association that is present between plants and fungi. Plants provide food materials in the form of sugar to the fungi while fungi fixes phosphorus for the plant that is present in the soil in unavailable form. When fungicide is sprayed, it kills the fungi present in the soil and deficiency of phosphorus occurs in plants.
