<span>When Alfred Wegener developed the theory of continental drift in 1912, not many thought those theories of movement of continents are valid and the scientific community did not accept his theory at that time and that did not allow him to research further on ocean floor, paleo-magnetism, and earthquakes.</span>

It was not accepted during Wegener's lifetime because, mainstream scientists that time didn't know the mantle was liquid, they thought it was solid.  They thought the throry was illegitimate because continents did not fit exactly together.

The evidence supporting Wegener's theory was all discovered after his lifetime, like the Seismographs revealed a pattern of volcanoes and earthquakes, and Radiometric dating of rocks revealed a surprisingly young oceanic crust.

What is the phenotype of a plant with the genotype RR
vazorg [7]
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.

Answer:

it has both good and bad

Explanation:

Cholesterol is a type of fat in our bodies. It helps us do a lot of things: build cells, digest food, and make hormones.

While cholesterol is needed for our body to function properly, too much of it can be bad. High cholesterol can cause serious problems in our blood, like clots, plus heart and brain issues.
