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
<span>Hay fever is a manifestation of allergic reaction
from pollen, which is prevalent during haying season. Hay fever is commonly
known as allergic rhinitis caused by an oversensitive immune system,
particularly the lymphocytes, leading to a misdirected immune response. The body
undergo a sensitization when one develops IgE antibodies and develop a strong
TH2 response against pollen. Then, this newly develop IgE antibodies sticks to
basophils and mast cells with no signs and symptoms yet. However, when one is
expose again to pollens, mast cells will be activated and release mediators who
are responsible for immediate vascular and smooth muscle reaction. After this, local
clinical manifestation of hay fever will be observed. </span>
Answer:

The atmosphere is made up of different elements but the most abundance is Nitrogen with 78% while oxygen and others carries the rest percentage including some inert gases
Explanation:
Answer:
protected; increase
Explanation:
Ozone is composed of trioxygen which is highly reactive gas compared to dioxygen. Ozone layer is present in stratosphere and troposphere and protect the humans from ultraviolet radiations but it may be toxic if inhaled. Ozone can be broken down into molecular oxygen by chlorine and bromine atoms.
A hole was discovered in ozone layer in 1982 and scientist believed that it could be dangerous for human health. The compounds involved in depletion of ozone are mainly Chlorofluorocarbons (CFS) and (HFCS). Then a global agreement was signed in 1987 which leads to prohibition of use of all chemicals that are involved in depletion of ozone layer. The problem of ozone depletion is solved by the agreement and ozone hole started to recover it from 2000.
But recent reports showed that the alternative chemicals used to protect the depletion of ozone layer began to trap the heat inside the earth like greenhouse effect. Now scientists are in search of chemical that can prevent both ozone depletion as well as global warming.
Answer:
fertilizer creating a mutation among a farmer's crops
Explanation:
A genetic factor is one that affects the gene or genome of an individual organism. This genetic factor often influences the observable trait called PHENOTYPE of the organism. In this case, an example of a genetic factor that could influence the growth or development of an organism created by an environmental factor is the "fertilizer creating a mutation among a farmer's crops"
The fertilizer represents the environmental/chemical factor which is creating the genetic factor (mutation) that will eventually influence the growth or development of the crops.
