What term defines a gene made up of two different alleles

Biology

olasank [31]3 years ago

The right answer is Heterozygous

An individual is heterozygous for a gene when he has two different alleles of that gene.


Heterozygosity, being heterozygous, decreases the risk of expression of deleterious recessive alleles and allows for different versions of the same gene, which can be a guarantee of adaptability to changing environmental conditions.

Prokaryotes are classified as belonging to two different domains. What are the domains?
Basile [38]

Answer:

Bacteria and Archaea

Explanation:

The prokaryotes are classified into two domains, the bacteria and the archaea domains. This makes them unique as the other organisms fall into one of the three domains, not in two of them. The prokaryotes come in many different shapes. They all do fall into three categories, bacilli (which are the rod-shaped prokaryotes), spirilli (which are the spiral-shaped prokaryotes), and cocci (which are the spherical shaped prokaryotes).

A very common type of red–green colorblindness in humans is caused by a mutation in a gene located on the X chromosome. Knowing
Harrizon [31]

Answer:

50%

Explanation:

According to the given information, the allele for the red-green colorblindness is inherited in an X linked recessive manner. Let's assume that the allele X^c is responsible for red-green colorblindness. The woman is normal but had a colorblind father (X^cY). Fathers give their X chromosomes to the daughters while their Y chromosome is transmitted to their sons. The sons get their X chromosomes from the mother.

The colorblind father has transmitted the X-linked allele for the red-green colorblindness to his daughter. Therefore, the genotype of the woman is X^cX. The woman would produce two types of eggs: 50 % with X^C and 50% with X. Therefore, 50% of sons of this woman would get X linked allele for the red-green colorblindness and would be affected by the disorder while the rest 50% of her sons will be normal.
