To determine:
The number of genotypes at a locus where five alleles are present.
Introduction:
Genotypes are the genetic make-up of an individual that expresses a physical trait or
To determine:
The number of homozygotes that can be present at a locus having 5 alleles.
Introduction:
Homozygote is an individual that possesses two same copies of alleles of a gene at a particular locus within the chromosome. Whereas, the heterozygotes are the individuals having two different alleles of a gene at a particular locus within the chromosome.
To determine:
The number of genotypes and homozygotes that can be present at a locus having 8 alleles.
Introduction:
Homozygous is the condition when an individual has two same copies of alleles of a gene at a specific locus within the chromosome. Whereas, the heterozygous condition occurs when the individual has two different alleles of a gene at a particular locus within the chromosome.
