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.

Hey there!

It is mostly like "B". A new area of science promotes experimentation from a different point of view because everything else is explains why the development of the new area of science which could lead to change in a particular theory but they aren't quite the "best" one

SO, that is why $\boxed {Option B}$ is mostly likely your result

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!

Explanation:

The discoveries indicates that the rocks were formed over millions of years ago due to the age of fossils they contain.

Fossils are the preserved remains of life found in rocks. Most fossils are used in relative dating of rocks.

Dinosaurs are extinct organisms that once lived in the Mesozoic. This was about 100 million years ago.
Tool man also grazed the surface of the earth just a few thousands to a million years.
We are able to find their fossils in rocks because they have lived in some certain geologic periods.
Here we are using the fossils to date the rock and this is called relative dating
