In the chart, the organism Rr represents a genetically _____________ individual.
A) heterozygous
B) homogeneous
C) homozygous
D) retrozygous
a or c?
Since R indicates one allele and r indicates a different one, would that be "-" or "hetero-"?
so d?
The correct answer is A) heterozygous.
The correct answer is A) heterozygous.
To determine the answer, we need to understand the genetic makeup of the organism represented by "Rr" in the chart. In genetics, uppercase letters are usually used to represent dominant alleles, and lowercase letters represent recessive alleles.
In this case, the organism is represented by the letters "Rr". The uppercase letter "R" represents a dominant allele, and the lowercase letter "r" represents a recessive allele. When an organism has two different alleles for a specific gene, such as "R" and "r", it is known as being heterozygous.
Therefore, the correct answer is A) heterozygous.
