Answer: f. only b. and c. are examples of homozygotes
Explanation:
Diploid cells (all non-reproductive cells) have two copies of each gene, called <em>alleles</em>, one obtained from the father and one from the mother. In genetics, an organism is a homozygote for a gene if both alleles are the same. In contrast, heterozygotes have different alleles for the same gen.
Genes are represented with a letter, and you can differentiate between <em>alleles </em>if the letter is uppercase or lowercase.
For example, if you wanted to represent the gene that encodes a flower color, you could call A the 'red' version of it and a the 'blue' version of it. A plant would be homozygote for that gen if it had the same version for both alleles, AA or aa.
The experiment is performed in order to either accept or reject the hypothesis based upon the results
The octet rule maintains that all molecules must have a full outer shell, and it wants to give that one electron away, because it'd be easier than gaining seven more. So, it'd be B :)
