Answer:

Two heterozygous parents have a <u>50%</u> chance of contributing one of their alleles to each offspring.

Explanation:

Individuals who are heterozygous for a specific trait have two different alleles in the gene that determines that trait. This characteristic makes their chances of contributing each of their alleles to the offspring 50%.

The alleles of a gene are distributed in the gametes by the process of meiosis, which results in daughter cells with half the genetic charge, so each gamete can only have one copy of the allelic pair of a gene.  

On the other hand, if an individual has two equal alleles for a characteristic in a gene, he has a 100% chance of passing that allele on to his descendants.

Why is the Lancelet a chordate, but not a vertebrate?
nika2105 [10]

Lancelet is a chordate but not a vertebrate because it lacks a backbone

Explanation:

The subphyla of the phylum Chordata are - Vertebrata, Urochordata and cephalochordate

Those chordates with a structural backbone belong to Vertebrata.

Urochordates and cephalochordates lack a backbone and hence are termed invertebrate chordates.

Lancelet is an invertebrate chordate of the subphylum – Cephalochordata.  

The lancelets consist of a notochord that extends right from the head till the tail at the dorsal surface. The notochord acts like the backbone and provides support and a semi-flexible structure to aid in the movement of the organism.

They lack a developed nervous system like vertebrates but only has a dorsal nerve tube .
