<h2>answer:</h2>

Active transport is the movement of molecules from a region of their lower concentration to a region of their higher concentration

<h2>explanation:</h2>

Active transport is the movement of molecules across a cell membrane from a region of their lower concentration to a region of their higher concentration—in the way opposite to some gradient or other obstructing factors (often an intensity gradient).

While active transport, particles travel against the concentration gradient - and hence need an input of energy from the cell.

Color blindedness is a sex-linked trait. If we could see the pedigree chart for several more generations of the family illustrat

Anna71 [15]

Mainly sons born from mothers to color blind parent(s) would be a trend.

Color blindness usually affects men more than women because the affected X chromosome from their mom is not compensated for with the Y chromosome given to them by their dad. Girls are usually unaffected because the 2 X chromosomes they have overpower the defective gene.

Hope that helps!

Think of some traits in people, plants, or animals. Describe one trait and tell whether you think the trait is a dominant/recess

Answer:

Non-Mendelian inheritance

Multiple alleles, incomplete dominance, and codominance

Explanation:

In the real world, genes often come in many versions (alleles). Alleles aren't always fully dominant or recessive to one another, but may instead display codominance or incomplete dominance.

Answer:

Nerve agent

Explanation:

A nerve agent is a chemical in which on exposure to humans affects the functioning of the nervous system. These chemicals are known to disrupt the process by which messages are transferred to the organs from the nerve. This disruption occurs by blocking the activity of acetylcholinesterase, which is responsible for the catabolism of a neurotransmitter, acetylcholine.

On exposure to a nerve agent, the muscles of the body become paralyzed and early symptoms is production of excess mucous such as in runny nose, pupil constriction and also difficulty in breathing.

These agents are sometimes used in chemical warfare. Examples include sarin, tabun etc.

In sexually reproducing organisms genes as transferred via

kobusy [5.1K]

In sexual reproducing organisms genes are transferred via meiosis.,
With sexual reproduction, offspring are genetically unique because they get a mix of genes from both parents. The male and female reproductive cells are called gametes, or simply the sperm and the ovum. Each gamete contains half the number of chromosomes found in other cells of the organism
