ANMOL SETH · Answer

This is what i am confused with.... why nearly homozygous ?????????? Why not fully homozygous????????And what is the difference b/w fully and nearly homozygous?

Aabid Hussain · Answer

Dear Anmol,

Near homozygous term here represent the literal term. It means complete homozygous. As you will observe the rest of the options, none of them are associated with true breeding organism.
