For humans, we have 19,000 protein-coding genomes. For every gene, there are 2 alleles. This means that humans have 38,000 alleles (19,000×2=38,000).
I can’t help much but I do know that homozygous means having identical alleles and heterozygous means having different alleles.
Answer:
Explanation:
A cell as the functional and structural unit of life exhibits numerous concepts of life which include:
1. Growth; A cell is a subject to this as the growth of a cell translates to the growth of the tissue is composed of, the cell is responsible for all biochemical actions in living organisms, this growth is achieved via mitosis.
2. Reproduction: Cells also experience reproduction via meiosis, where a diploid cell divides to produce 2haploid cells an example of this is the spermatozoa.
3. Death: Cells are also subject to death, which can either be programmed (Apoptosis), or due to sickness(Necrosis). This is also found when humans die and become stiff due to rigor mortis which occurs as a result of cell death
The genes for sex-linked disorders are found on a sex chromosome, but the genes for other inherited genetic disorders are found on other chromosomes.
