Chapter 2, Problem 60P

Summary Introduction

To determine: Whether an animal can be a carrier of the recessive allele (and not a heterozygous for the given gene).

Introduction: Heterozygosity and homozygosity are the two specific traits of a diploid individual, which can exhibit the traits present on the different locus on a chromosome. Homozygous character is defined as the same copies of the gene (such as AA and aa). However, heterozygous characters are the two different alleles for gene expression (such as A and other a)
