What is the difference between heterozygous and homozygous individuals? What is the difference between heterozygous and homozygo

us individuals? Heterozygotes carry two copies of a gene while homozygotes only carry one. Homozygotes have one chromosome while heterozygotes have two similar chromosomes. All of the gametes from a homozygote carry the same version of the gene while those of a heterozygote will differ. The homozygote will express the dominant trait and the heterozygote will express the recessive trait.

Answer:

All of the gametes from a homozygote carry the same version of the gene while those of a heterozygote will differ.

Explanation:

A heterozygous individual carries both dominant and recessive alleles of a gene while a homozygous individual carries two copies of either dominant or recessive alleles of a gene. For example, the genotype TT and tt have two copies of dominant and recessive alleles respectively and are therefore homozygous genotypes. On the other hand, the genotype "Tt" is a heterozygous genotype.

An individual with a homozygous genotype would produce all the gametes having the same allele of the gene. The homozygous genotype "TT" would produce all the gametes with one copy of the "T" allele. An individual with a heterozygous genotype makes two types of gametes. The genotype "Tt" would produce 50% gametes having a "T" allele and rest 50% having a "t" allele. Segregation of alleles during meiosis produces different types of gametes in a heterozygous Individual.

In which order will free nucleotides add on to a single strand of DNA with the sequence ATTGCA during DNA replication?
AnnZ [28]
The answer is T A A C G T.

Replication is a process in which DNA molecule is copied, and thereby two identical DNA molecules are produced.  Complementarity is achieved through interactions between nucleobases. In the DNA, base complements are adenine - thymine (A-T) and guanine - cytosine (G-C). 

So, free nucleotides will add in the following order <span>T A A C G T:
original strand                 new strand
     A                                       T
     T                                       A
     T                                       A
     G                                      C
     C                                      G

What kind of exercise should you do during a warm-up?
vitfil [10]
<span>If jogging you should start off with a brisk walk and transition after about 1 minute to a slow jog. Then pick up your pace as your legs become warm with increased blood flow. If biking you should do a few static calf and thigh stretches but don't extend too far as muscles are cold. Then start off your cycling at a very slow comfortable pace. After about a minute you can start to slowly increase your pace until you reach your goal.</span>
