7 0

Answer:

Gene regulation is an important part of normal development. Genes are turned on and off in different patterns during development to make a brain cell look and act different from a liver cell or a muscle cell, for example. Gene regulation also allows cells to react quickly to changes in their environments.

Punnet square for two heterozygous parents
Basile [38]

Answer:

In biology, heterozygous means that the two alleles of a gene will be different. Homozygous means that the two alleles of a gene are similar.

A cross between to heterozygous parents for genes (Ww) is shown below:

 

           W          w

W         WW       Ww

w           Ww       ww

The results show that 25% of the population will be homozygous dominant, 50% of the population will be heterozygous dominant, 25% of the population will be recessive for the trait.
