Heterozygous means that an organism has two different alleles of a gene. For example, pea plants can have red flowers and either be homozygous dominant (red-red), or heterozygous (red-white). If they have white flowers, then they are homozygous recessive (white-white). Carriers are always heterozygous.
Homozygous is a word that refers to a particular gene that has identical alleles on both homologous chromosomes. It is referred to by two capital letters (XX) for a dominant trait, and two lowercase letters (xx) for a recessive trait.
Explanation:
Chromosome 11 is made of over 130 million base pairs.
Approximately how many genes are found on chromosome 11? 2000
<h2>
<em>The law of segragation, the law of independent assortment, and the law of dominance.</em></h2>
1) The Law of Segregation: Each inherited trait is defined by a gene pair. Parental genes are randomly separated to the sex cells in order that sex cells contain only 1 gene of the pair. Offspring therefore inherit one genetic allele from each parent when sex cells unite in fertilization.
2) The Law of Independent Assortment: Genes for various traits are sorted separately from each other in order that the inheritance of 1 trait isn't smitten by the inheritance of another.
3) The Law of Dominance: An organism with alternate types of a gene will express the shape that's dominant.
False! The endocrine system carries out its job by releasing hormones which then travel through the blood stream to target cells where they interact and create a hormonal change in those cells. the main organs of the endocrine system are the pituitary gland, the hypothalamus, and the thyroid.
