Humans, like all mammals, are diploid organisms. This means that we have two copies of each chromosome. In diploid organisms, one somatic cell would have two copies of each gene. This means that in one somatic cell, an individual carries two copies of alleles for long eyelashes, and also two copies of alleles for short eyelashes.
The armpit isn't the most precise but it is close. Under the tongue, across the forehead, as long as you have the proper tools (thermometer, the thermometer meant for foreheads) you should get a fairly accurate reading.
Different forms of a given gene are known as "alleles". Alleles are essential for the formation of life and add to diversity both within and outside the organism itself in many ways.
Imagine that a person has a disorder of the pancreas that does not allow it to secrete digestive enzymes. The breakdown of the macromolecule would be <span>affected the most by this disorder. The macromolecule is called the "Nucleic Acids."</span>
