The issue of high cholesterol can sometimes run in families. If an individual has two normal alleles, then he is phenotypically
statuscvo [17]
In the case of the gene that determines high cholesterol in the blood, the two alleles express incomplete dominance.
What this means is that the dominant allele is not completely dominant over the recessive allele. If the allele was completely dominant, even one allele would be enough to determine the individual's trait as dominant. But in the case of incomplete dominance between the alleles, the heterozygous individuals that have one dominant and one recessive allele are an ''in between'' phenotype.

Diffusion is a type of passive transport. Why?
FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

Diffusion expends no energy. Rather the different concentrations of materials in different areas are a form of potential energy, and diffusion is the dissipation of that potential energy as materials move down their concentration gradients, from high to low.
