The term _________ is used for a person possessing two identical alleles.
a. homozygous
b. heterozygous
c. genotype
d.
To fill:
The correct term in the given blank.
Introduction:
Homozygous and heterozygous are two-term which are opposite to each other. In homozygous alleles are present in the cell is identical copy and both are either dominant or recessive where heterozygote alleles present in the cell are different like Tt.
Answer to Problem 1PL
The term homozygous is used for a person possessing two identical alleles.
Explanation of Solution
The homozygous term is used when the individual has the same or exact identical copies of alleles present. Example AA. The breed is true having the same allele, i.e., TT, tt traits. It carries either dominant or receives traits. Gametes are the only type that transfers to the next generation.
