Alleles are letters that represent dominant and recessive traits.
A capital letter represents a dominant trait
A lowercase letter represents a recessive trait.
Dominant traits over shadow the recessive ones. This is known as complete dominance.
Referring to your questions let's us the alleles HH, Hh, and hh for the height of the pea plants.
But what do those letters mean?
HH = homozygous dominant (Tall)
Homo means same.
hh = homozygous recessive (Short)
Now this is different: here's Hh.
There's a capital AND lowercase letter.
This means that the plant carries the gene for tall and short plants, and can pass on either trait to the offspring.
BUT the dominant always over shadows the recessive. So Hh is a tall plant.
Hh = heterozygous (hybrid) (Tall)
You can interpret hetero meaning different.
Now I hope you're with me!
For question two it asks if a short plant can ever be a hybrid.
Referring to what I just said, that answer would be no.
Because there is no dominant trait to over shadow the recessive.
And short plants have the hh alleles, and they are homozygous NOT heterozygous (hybrid).
I hope this helps, and makes sense! If you have any questions please let me know. Genetics can be confusing.

Answer:
B. Mixture
Explanation:
Steel is an example of a mixture. It's known as an alloy of iron mixed with carbon. The carbon helps to improve its strength and its resistance to fracture. Other percentages of chromium, nickel, vanadium, etc can be added in order to obtain steels of a desired hardness, resistance to corrosion, etc. Due to its high tensile strength, it is used in tools, ships, cars, electrical appliances, weapons, etc.
Please note: I answered this question with my knowledge of steel and to the best of my ability. The passage that was referred to in the excerpt wasn't added for me to use.
