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.

DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

selective breeding; biotechnology

Explanation:

Selective breeding is a type of artificial selection that consists of crossing plants/animals with desirable and heritable phenotypic traits in order to increase the frequency of such traits in progeny. Selective breeding can be considered as one of the first biotechnological techniques applied by humans. In the past, the selective breeding technique has allowed obtaining domesticated animals (e.g., dogs from wild wolves) and domesticated crops from their wild ancestors (e.g., maize from its wild ancestor teosinte).

Complete the sentence about Alfred wegener's continental drift story.
kirza4 [7]

Answer:

The presence of similar <u>fossils(B)</u><u> </u> and <u>rock formations(C)</u> on several different continents supports the theory of Continental Drift.

Explanation:

Alfred Wegener observed fossils of organisms that were not supposed to have survived in the climate of where they were found. Other key findings is that he found fossils of organisms that were found in one continent and the same fossils found on another continent whose edges seem to fit together.

He also observed rock formations or stratas of mountain ranges in one continent seem to fit together with another continent.

<u>Added note:</u>

Even if Alfred Wegener had these evidences to present, his theory of Continental Drift was rejected mainly because he could not explain the mechanism of how the super continent (Pangaea) split.
