Answer:

We fear flying in a plane, nuclear power plants or being struck by lightning more because our risk perception isn't rational. We assess risks using a mixture of cognitive skills (weighing the evidence, using reasoning and logic to reach conclusions) and emotional appraisals. In this case, we believe that overheating or lack of exercise is something we can control. We believe we can feel the process taking place and we can react in time. We fear all the situations that we cannot control.

Cellular respiration involves two phases. The anaerobic phase does not involve oxygen, while the aerobic phase does. Where does
Alex

While the majority of anaerobic (without oxygen) and aerobic (with oxygen) respiration occurs in the cytoplasm and mitochondria, respectively, of the cell.

<h3>What is cellular respiration?</h3>

The process through which food, in the form of sugar (glucose), is converted into energy within cells is known as cellular respiration. All kinds of cellular operations are then powered by the energy that is stored in ATP molecules.

There are three types of cellular respiration

1) Anaerobic respiration happens when there is no oxygen present.

2) Aerobic respiration occurs when there is oxygen present.

The dominant allele is D and causes dimples and the recessive allele is d and causes no dimples. How would a geneticist describe
SSSSS [86.1K]

A geneticist describes the phenotype of an individual with the alleles dd as homo-zygous recessive. In heterozygous individuals, it is masked by the dominant allele.

<h3>Dominant and recessive alleles</h3>

In diploid organisms, an individual receives two gene forms or 'alleles' for the same gene locus.

An individual is heterozygous when receives two different alleles for the same gene locus, whereas an individual is homo-zygous when receives the same alleles for a gene locus.

In cases of complete dominance, the dominant allele completely masks the recessive allele in heterozygous individuals.
