Phenotype is referred to as the expressed trait that is caused by a certain combination of alleles.

<h3>What is phenotype?</h3>

Phenotype is referred to as the expressed trait that is caused by a certain combination of alleles. We will recall that the HbS allele is responsioble for the anemia that results from sickle shaped red blood cells.

This phenotype is both harmfull and benefical in the sense that it leads to the agglutination of the red blood cells in individuals that have this phenotype and eventual crisis. Also, it is beneficaila in that nthose who possess this phenotype do not suffer from malaria in the tropics.

What two recurring events in Earth’s history have an impact on the carbon cycle?
inessss [21]
The carbon cycle is affected by a variety of factors, and happens through different processes. The processes can be divided into two, which are biological processes and geological processes. The biological aspect covers the use and production of carbon by living organisms. The geological aspect covers physical processes such as volcanic eruptions, and weathering of rocks, which may result to release of carbon back to the atmosphere. However, both of these aspects can be affected by recurring events in Earth's history. One is the switching between glacial and interglacial periods, and the other one is the seasonal changes. Glacial periods can lead to lower temperatures and lower carbon levels in the atmosphere. In contrast to this, warmer interglacial periods result to higher carbon levels primarily due to an abundance of life. Seasonal changes have a similar effect that can be observed at a shorter time. Human activities such as burning of fossil fuels and deforestation may also bring changes to the carbon cycle.
