Homozygous mean that both copies of a gene or locus match.

Heterozygous mean that both copies of a gone do not match.

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.

Does peterson's solution to the mutual-exclusion problem shown in fig. 2-24 work when process scheduling is preemptive

Sloan [31]

<span>Yes. Not only does Peterson's Solution work with preemptive scheduling, but it was designed for that very case. In fact, when scheduling is non-preemptive, there is a possibility it might fail. For example, in a case where 'turn' is initially 0, but process 1 runs first, it will loop perpetually, and never release the CPU.</span>

nekit [7.7K]

Explanation:

During cellular respiration, glucose is broken down and energy is released in the process.

Cellular respiration is a metabolic process by which energy is produced.
In this process, chemical energy stored in the chains of the glucose atoms are transformed into heat energy.
In cellular respiration, glucose combines with oxygen.
The product is the formation of carbon dioxide and water with the release of energy.
This energy is stored in form of ATP.
To be released, one Phosphate is detached to produce ADP.
