To give a direct answer, I’d have to know what gene we were looking at. However, in a general sense, when a genotype has two capital letters, it means that it’s homozygous dominant. Take for example:
R= tall stalk
r= short stalk
The uppercase R is a dominant allele, which means if the plant has the gene with this in it (RR or Rr) then it will have that trait. If it has two lowercase letters (rr) then it will be the recessive trait.
Using this example, RR would be the tall stalk. For whatever your question is, the dominant phenotype would be the answer.
The "set-point theory" implies that each individual is genetically programmed to carry a particular amount of body weight.
The set point is the weight range in which your specific body is programmed to work. The set point theory trusts that a man's body will battle to keep up that specific weight range.
By the way, I LOVE BIOLOGY!
the characteristics of prokaryotes are:
- Lack an organised nucleus and other membrane organelles
- Found in a central part of the cell which is known as the Nucleoid
- The cell wall of the prokaryotic cell acts as an extra layer of protection as it can help maintain dehydration and the cell shape
(Got the information from my biology notes!)
