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.

Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

Answer below

Explanation:

Well when natural selection occurs, genes that don't benefit the speicies, or more accurately, harm it by ruining camoflague. Natural selection can result in one creature evolving into 3 different species when those creatures get put into different environments that promote genetic mutations that help them survive. After a long while of genetic mutations coming and going to adapt to their environment, those three members of the species are no longer the same species because they've all adapted to different environments.

When colorblind women married a male with normal vision, all their daughters have normal vision and all their sons are colorblin
worty [1.4K]

Answer:

X-linked recessive

Explanation:

The trait is a sex-linked trait because the daughters are not colorblind, but the sons are. We know this its recessive because the daughters have inherited the mother's X chromosome that has the colourblindness trait, but are not colorblind because the father's X does not have the colourblindness trait. The sons are colourblind because they inherited the X from their mother with the colourblindnese trait and a Y from their father. The colourblindness trait or normal vision trait is not carried on the Y, so the mother's X chromosome's trait is expressed.

Sorry if it's confusing i tried my best to explain it

vesna_86 [32]
The answer is letter A. 

Dogs grow a thick coat fur during winter because they are adapting to change. Adaptations are the result of evolution in different living organisms. This process occurs amazingly through gene mutation but it takes a very long period in time. Adaptation processes occur to help species survive and thrive in the ecological balance of life.

Structural adaptations are physical features of an organism that adapted through time. An example of this is the thick coat of fur that dogs naturally grow to protect themselves from the change of the weather.
