Answer:

Alleles are the variant or alternative form of gene present on the homologous chromosome at a specific position, its function is to determine the genetic traits.

Explanation:

Alleles are an alternative form of the gene, and they are present on the homologous chromosome.

If the function of the allele is to code for a specific type of protein and to determine the genetic traits.

If the Alleles are the same they are called homozygous.

If the alleles are different they are called heterozygous.

If the allele is dominated it denoted by a capital letter, whereas recessive allele by small letters.
Example : flower color in the pea plants,dominant allele is purple and recessive one white allele.

What are the different types of connective tissue? where in the body could each be found?

GrogVix [38]

The different types of the Connective tissue are the Cartilage, Bone Tissue, White Adipose Tissue, Fascia, Fibrocartilage, Hyaline Cartilage, Elastic Cartilage, Costal Cartilage, Brown Adipose Tissue, and Adventitia....

Cartilage- Found in the Joints between bones, the elbow, your knees and ankles, the vertebrae, and on the end of ribs

Bone Tissue- Bone Tissue is found in small blood vessels, epithelium, and the nerves.

White Adipose Tissue- Is located beneath the skin, around internal organs, in bone marrow, and the breast tissue

Fascia-This is the dense fibrous connective tissue that interpenetrates and surrounds the muscles, bones, nerves and blood vessels of the body. This suspends the organs within their cavities and wraps them in layers of connective tissue membranes.

Fibrocartilage- Found in the public symphysis, the anulus fibrosis of intervertebral discs.

Hyaline Cartilage- Found in the Bronchi, bronchial tubes, costal cartilages, larynx, nose, and the trachea.

Elastic Cartilage- Found in the Epiglottis, and the Pinnae.

Costal Cartilage- Found at the anterior ends of the ribs.

Brown Adipose Tissue- Found in Neonates, brown fat makes up about 5% of the body mass and is located on the back, along the upper half of the spine and toward the shoulders.

Adventitia- Is found in the Connective System and in the nerves.....

I hope this helps with this question you asked!!! It states the different types of the connective tissue and where they can be found!!!! Have a great day!!!
