Question

when 2 genes of a pair are the same. heterozygous genotype phenotype homoqygous question 2 (2 points) ---- cells are produced by mitosis (double), whereas ---- cells are produced by meisois (half). question 3 (2 points) chromosomes occur in homologous pairs. true false

Explanation:

1. When two genes of a pair are the same, the term is homozygous. Heterozygous means the genes in a pair are different. Genotype is the genetic makeup of an organism and phenotype is the observable traits.
2. Mitosis produces two genetically - identical diploid cells (double in terms of chromosome number compared to gametes), while meiosis produces four genetically - diverse haploid cells (half the chromosome number of somatic cells).
3. Chromosomes do occur in homologous pairs in diploid cells, with one chromosome of each pair coming from the mother and the other from the father.

Answer:

1. Homozygous
2. Diploid; Haploid
3. True
