Definition:
Having two different alleles of a particular gene or genes.
(an Allele is a variant form of a gene.)
Simplification:
If the organism has one copy of two different alleles, it is heterozygous.
Eg: T and t
<em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em>(</em><em>T</em><em> </em><em>for </em><em>tall</em><em> </em><em>and</em><em> </em><em>t</em><em> </em><em>for</em><em> </em><em>short</em><em>)</em>
Example:
<u><em>Pea</em><em> </em><em>Plants</em></u>
Pea plants can have red flowers and either be homozygous dominant (red-red), or heterozygous (red-white). If they have white flowers, then they are homozygous recessive (white-white). Carriers are always heterozygous.

Explanation:
Chalcone synthase is an enzyme ubiquitous to higher plants and belong to the family of polyketide synthase enzyme known as type lll PKS. Type lll PKS are associated with the production of chalcones, a class of organic compounds found manly in plants as natural defense mechanisms and as synthetic intermediates CHS was the first type lll PKS to be discovered. it is the first committed enzyme in flavenoid biosynthesis. the enzyme catalyze the conversion of malonyl-coA to narigenin chalcone.

Answer:
B
Explanation:
Great variations in temperature and pH from the optimum that an enzyme needs can affect its function. pH affects ionization of the functional groups of amino acids. The interaction of charges of these amino groups helps in stabilizing loops such as those of beta sheets and alpha helices and give the protein its an appropriate shape to function.
Temperatures, on the other hand, while it does not change the ionization of the functional side groups of amino acids, it breaks these bonds of the interactions by giving the molecules enough energy to break free from these bonds hence denaturing the protein.
