Essentially traits of both genes will be shown. Take heterochromia for example, where a person has a green eye and a blue eye, both have some part in developing a trait.

I answered a similar question before so I'm going to use an example from there. Two plants, a dark purple flower and a white flower create an offspring with dark purple and white petals on the flower. This is an example of the gene displaying codominance in effect.

Codominance allows for two genes to exist independently at the same time without mixing. Think of another example. Say your mother has blue hair and your dad has red hair. If you have both blue and red strands. That is codominance. The two colors who co-exist. If you got purple, you would have incomplete dominance. Notice that the purple is a mix and of blue and red. They are dependent on each other.

Hope that helps! :D

What is the environmental pressure of a giraffe

Yuri [45]

The answer to this question would be: increased food height

Giraffe becomes tall because its food height is increased. In this case, the environmental pressure on Giraffe would be the increased height of the food.
The taller giraffe has access to higher food. Then, the giraffe with the higher chance of survival in this scenario would be the giraffe with a taller height.

sattari [20]

<h2>Answer is option "b"</h2>

Explanation:

Non-ionizing radiation is radiation that has a lower frequency, or longer wavelength, in the EMR spectrum. These frequencies range from that of power lines, radios, and cell phones, up to visible light. Non-ionizing radiation is not powerful enough to break the chemical bonds in molecules. In general, it is not harmful to human health as radiation per se, but could be harmful in terms of the transfer of heat energy. An example of an emitter of non-ionizing radiation is a microwave oven.
Non-ionizing radiation is less harmful because the rays carry much less energy. Radio waves, light, and even heat are examples of non-ionizing radiation. For the most part, these kinds of radiation do not cause any damage. However, ultraviolet light is a kind of non-ionizing radiation that can be harmful - it can cause mutations in DNA
Non-ionizing radiation is limited to the lower energy range electromagnetic radiation, which is more commonly known as light. However, the light we can see with our eyes, visible light, is only a small section of the electromagnetic radiation spectrum as seen here
Hence the right answer is option "b"

How does water distribution on Earth affect settlement of populations?

frozen [14]

Answer:

Water distribution on Earth greatly affect settlement of population because water is a necessary item for the survival of living creatures. Without water there is no life. Availability of water increases vegetation and increases the beautification of the area and peoples are attracted to live there.

Those areas where plenty of water is available having maximum population while those areas where water is present in low quantity, the population is also low like deserts.
