Question

An individual carries a heterozygote (two diff alleles on same gene) which will be located:

A) On the same spot on two sister chromatids
B) On the same spot on the same chromosome
C) On different spot on the same chromosome
D) On the same spot on the two homologous chromosomes carrying that gene
E) On different spots on the two homologous chromosomes carrying that gene

Answer 1

B) On the same place on the same chromosome.

Step-by-step explanation:

Both alleles are located on the same chromosome and present at the same place because genes come in pair. Each pair of gene is located at a specific place on a chromosome. If the two alleles present at a specific location are similar to each other, it is called homo-zygous while on the other hand, if both alleles are different from one another, they are considered as hetero-zygous.
