How is it possible for an offspring to exhibit a recessive trait if neither parent exhibited that recessive trait? What must be

true about the parents’ genes for this to occur?

To exhibit a recessive trait, an individual must have two recessive alleles responsible for the trait. One recessive allele is from a mother and another is from a father. However, if a person has one dominant and one recessive allele, it will not exhibit the recessive trait. This is because recessive allele will be masked by the dominant allele. So, parents must be heterozygous (one dominant and one recessive allele) and must give their recessive alleles to the offspring so that only offspring exhibit the recessive trait.

Explain the connection between earth’s magnetic field and iron
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

The Earth's magnetic field is somewhat caused by the composition of the earth's core which is rich in iron minerals. There is a solid inner core that is made of iron which makes up to 2/3 of the moon's size. The charged metal of the iron produces electric currents, consequently resulting to Earth's magnetic field.

Describe the hunting method that the Clovis people used at the Jake Bluff kill site. (Site 1)
Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

They use spears.

Explanation:

The hunting method that the Clovis people used for killing the large animals is the use of spears. These spears have a pointed head which easily penetrate in the body of these large animals and kill them in a very less time. They mostly hunt big animals in groups which make easier the hunting of animals. In this period when the Clovis people were present, extinction of mammoths, giant sloth and bison in North America occurs due to hunting and climate change.

What would earth’s surface look like if earth did not have an atmosphere?
Dvinal [7]
Earth would basically look like the Moon; minus the craters, of course. This is because with no atmosphere to hold all of the Oxygen near the surface, all life would die off fairly quickly.

A particular plant species is pollinated by a certain insect species the insect species depends on the plant species with food w
Travka [436]

The correct answer is co-adaptation.  

Co-adaptation in biology refers to the procedure by which two or more species, phenotypic traits or genes go through adaptation as a group or pair. This takes place when two or more associating features go through natural selection together in response to the similar selective pressure or when selective pressures change one feature and simultaneously changes the interactive feature. These associating features are only beneficial when together, in certain cases resulting in increased interdependence.
