Hi!


The answer would be: Dominant


<h3>Explanation</h3>

A cross between a true breeding short plant (homozygous for short, suppose tt), and a cross between a true breeding tall plant (homozygous for tallness, suppose TT) would result in all the offspring being heterozygous for the traits, meaning they would each have an allele of shortness (t) and an allele of tallness (T).

Considering the offspring were all tall, we understand that the allele for tallness must have been dominant over the allele for shortness to present itself over it. Hence, the term describing the gene for tallness would be dominant, and the term describing the gene for shortness would be recessive.


Hope this helps!

Planet x is 45 AUs from the sun. what is its period

Solar System[a] is the gravitationallybound system of the Sun and the objects that orbit it, either directly or indirectly,[b] including the eight planets and five dwarf planets as defined by the International Astronomical Union (IAU). Of the objects that orbit the Sun directly, the largest eight are the planets,[c]with the remainder being smaller objects, such as dwarf planets and small Solar System bodies. Of the objects that orbit the Sun indirectly—the moons—two are larger than the smallest planet, Mercury.[d]

The Solar System formed 4.6 billion years agofrom the gravitational collapse of a giant interstellar molecular cloud. The vast majority of the system's mass is in the Sun, with the majority of the remaining mass contained in Jupiter. The four smaller inner planets, Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars, are terrestrial planets, being primarily composed of rock and metal. The four outer planets are giant planets, being substantially more massive than the terrestrials. The two largest, Jupiterand Saturn, are gas giants, being composed mainly of hydrogen and helium; the two outermost planets, Uranus and Neptune, are ice giants, being composed mostly of substances with relatively high melting points compared with hydrogen and helium, called volatiles, such as water, ammonia and methane. All eight planets have almost circular orbits that lie within a nearly flat disc called the ecliptic.

peoples choices can have a positive or negative effect on their health. describe one positive chocie and one negative health cho
Alina [70]
A positive choice to make to impact one's health is to simply wake up in the morning and get ready, and take time on yourself. That will ensure that you appreciate yourself and will give you a positive mentality throughout the day.

A negative choice to make to impact one's health is to constantly over-think situations, causing stress and an unhealthy state of mind.

Electrons are the electrons in the outer energy
tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

Valence

Explanation:

In an atom, the electrons at the outermost energy level is called as valence electrons. It is the valence electrons which participates and interacts with the other atoms and form bonds. The valence electrons of an atoms are important as they depict the chemical properties of an element.

Thus the valence electrons resides the outermost shell and surrounds the atomic nucleus.
