Answer:

A gene can have different forms called alleles. These alleles can be dominant or recessive, heterozygous or homozygous. A diploid individual has two copies of chromosome one that came from a male parent and one from the female parent.  

As a diploid individual have two copies of homologous chromosome and each chromosome can carry only one allele of a gene, therefore, the two homologous chromosomes can carry only 2 alleles of a gene.

These alleles are present at the same locus on the chromosome and the dominant allele express itself in the phenotype. Recessive allele can only be expressed if both the chromosome have recessive allele(homozygous condition). So 2 different alleles of a given gene a diploid individual can maximally carry.

Answer:

The correct answer will be- two alleles at same locus.

Explanation:

Diploidy is a condition represented by the two sets of chromosomes on an organism receiving one set of the chromosome from one parent.

The alleles represent the variable form of a gene which determines the trait of an organism. The alleles show is affected in organisms only when two corresponding alleles from each parent come together and shows their equivalent response in diploid organisms.

Since the diploid organism contains tow sets of organisms from each parent therefore, an diploid organism contains a maximum of two alleles at the same position or locus.

Put the following terms in the order they would occur in the angiosperm life cycle. The first one is done.
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer: Angiosperms are the plants which produce flowers for sexual reproduction.

Explanation:

In the angiosperm life cycle the following events occur:

1. Seed germination: Under suitable condition inside the soil obtain water, oxygen and minerals the seed germinates and from the two precursors plumule from where the stem emerge and radicle  from where the root emerges.

2. Mature plant with flower: The plant gets matured with the develop of root and shoot and from the shoot the bud originates which produces the flower.

3. Pollination: During the process of pollination a mature pollen grain is transferred towards the female reproductive structure typically the stigma receives the pollen grain.

3. Fertilization of pollen with egg in ovary: The pollen is the male gametophyte which develops in the anthers which are the male reproductive structure of the flower and the egg or ovule is the female gamete which develops inside the ovary or female gametophyte. The fusion of male gametes provided by the pollen grain with that of the ovule is called as fertilization.

4. Formation of fruit with seed: After the fertilization process the ovules develop into seed and the ovary into fruit.

5. Seed dispersal: The fruit gets detached from the plant and it may get rotten and dried the dried seeds disperse and may germinate in favorable conditions.
