1. The correct answer is "oímos."
The sentence says: In the morning, we go to church and ____ the sermon. "Oír" means "to hear" and "poner" means "to put," so "oír" is the correct verb. Since the subject is "we" (nosotros), you must conjugate the verb in the second-person plural form: oímos.
2. The correct answer is "salimos."
The sentence says: At noon, we ____ the church and we come to this park. "Decir" means "to say" and "salir" means "to leave," so "salir" is the correct verb. The subject pronoun is still "we," so the correct conjugation (second-person plural) is "salimos."
3. The correct answer is "trae."
The sentence says: My Aunt Gloria ___ some sandwiches... "Traer" means "to bring" and "ver" means "to see," so "traer" is the correct verb. The subject pronoun is now third person singular (she - ella), so "traer" becomes "trae."
4. The correct answer is "traigo."
The previous sentence continues: ...and, since I like music, I ___ a radio. "Traer" means "to bring" and "hacer" means "to make" or "to do," so the correct verb is "traer." The subject pronoun is I (yo), so the correct conjugation is "traigo" (in the present tense, this verb is only irregular in the first-person singular form).
5. The correct answer is "pongo."
The sentence says: I don't ____ the music on too loud. "Hacer" means "to make" or "to do," and "poner" means "to put," so "poner" is the correct verb. Like "traer," "poner" is irregular in the first-person singular form for present tense: pongo.
6. The correct answer is "salgo."
The sentence says: Later on, I ___ with my friends to the movie theater... "Salir" means "to leave" and "ver" means "to see," so "salir" is the correct verb. Like "traer" and "poner," "salir" will be irregular in the first-person singular form for present tense: salgo.
7. The correct answer is "vimos."
The previous sentence continues: ...and we ____ a movie. "Decir" means "to say" and "ver" means "to see," so "ver" is the correct verb. The verb should still be conjugated with the "we" subject pronoun (second-person plural), so the correct answer is "vimos."
8. For the four sentences (oraciones), you could talk about how you go to Mexico to play a tennis match. For example: Salimos para Mexico porque somos en el partido de tenis, y vamos a jugar contra otro partido (We're leaving for Mexico because we're on the tennis team, and we're going to play against another team). You could continue by talking about how you won against a girl named Alejandra, etc.
It depends on the alleles inherited from the parents. If dominant and recessive allele were inherited from each parent you have 1 offspring that has 2 dominant alleles, 1 offspring that has 2 recessive alleles and 2 offspring that has both a dominant and recessive allele. The example below shows (T) as dominant allele and (t) as the recessive allele. The bold letters represent the parent alleles that the parents passed on to offspring.

Explanation:
In this first article we’ll look at Zh, Ch, Sh and R. In the next article we’ll cover Z, C, S.
These sound are mainly “difficult” because they are not pronounced how we would expect them to be in English. The fact that Roman letters are used just makes it confusing. That’s one of the weaknesses of pinyin. For a number of the sounds the letters are the same or at least very close to the English sound that uses the same letter.
Now we’re at the point where we need to totally ignore the fact that these letters exist in English and try to remove any sound associations we already have. C for example is pronounced closer to “ts”, nothing like the English c.
The good news is that if we relate these sounds to other Chinese sounds we have already learned our task is much simpler. This little hack will help us get a grip with these sounds a lot quicker than if we work from English sounds.
