Irons swords are made of iron and so they oxidize (a fancy word for rust), the process entails the metal absorbing oxygen from the air to create a new compound (rust).

On the other hand, jewelry would probably be made out of silver or gold and gems. These metals do not rust in the same way iron does. When silver oxidizes over time it form a protective barrier of already oxidized silver on the outside of the piece of metal -- this has a preservation effect. (And by the way, you should almost note that polishing silver actually removes a tiny bit of silver from the outside of the piece, thus removing the oxidized (tarnished) metal.)

Answer:

Based on the facts, there is no legal claim he can create against the accounting firm

Explanation:

While it is true that Alonzo had received and accepted a formal proposal by the accounting firm in Los Angeles, it only becomes valid and binding when the contract with the company is signed. Therefore, any event that occurs between the acceptance of the proposal and the signing of the contract does not generate liability in either party. Unfortunately for Alonzo, there's no potential claim agains the accounting firm that he can do.

Codominance occurs when, for example, a Dominant Blue color gene for a leaf crosses with a Dominant White color gene for a leaf. The genotype would be BW. This would result in, for example, a blue and white spotted leaf color. INCOMPLETE dominance occurs when both dominant alleles blend together, resulting in, eg, a pale blue color resulting from the blue and white colors mixing.
