Question

(1) The condition in which a pair of chromosomes carries different alleles of a particular character.

Answer 1

Explanation:

The condition in which a pair of chromosomes carries similar alleles of a particular character is called homozygous condition.

Answer 2

The condition in which a pair of chromosomes carries different alleles of a particular character is called a heterozygous condtion.

• When you’re heterozygous for a specific gene, it means you have two different versions of that gene.

• Depending on the condition, the mutated allele might be dominant or recessive.

• The dominant form can completely mask the recessive one, or they can blend together.

• If it’s dominant, it means only one mutated copy is needed to result in disease.

• In some cases, both versions appear at the same time.
