Answer:
When we talk about the inheritance of traits, or the passage of traits from parents to future generations down the line, we are not just talking about the visual (phenotypical) expression of those traits, but also, their underlying explanation, which is the genotype. A genotype is basically how the genes of the parents combine in such a way that the children inherit a set of traits from the parents, and express them phenotypically, or not.
In the case of blood types, we have four phenotypic groups: A, B and O. Each one of these types is characterized by the underlying set of genes that are responsible for what is expressed. While the O blood type presents a genotype ii, which is recessive, the A and B types will have the following genetic patterns: Ia Ia, or, Ia i (characteristic of the O genetic material) for the A type and: Ib Ib, or Ib i, for the B type. When there is a genetic conjugation from parents genetic material, regarding blood type, we would have these sets of genes combining. In most of the possible combinations genetically speaking, we have the recessive i gene appearing, including in the A and B dominant blood types. This means that when crossed, there will always be a chance of at least one offspring presenting the O blood type, even if one of the parents is dominant A, or B.
In answer: it is the fact that all three types present the recessive allele i, typical of the O blood type, that when pairings of genes happen between parents, the genetic characteristic of the O type may present itself in a dominant fashion, instead of the usual recessive pattern.
Mitosis is the division that results in two “daughter” cells. Both of these daughter cells have the same number of chromosomes as the “parent” cell.
Mitosis consists of 4 phases: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.
Prophase: the DNA is copied and the chromosomes pair up
Metaphase: the chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell
Anaphase: sister chromatids are pulled apart from each other towards opposite sides of the cell
Telophase: the cell begins to pinch in the middle and separates into two identical daughter cells

Answer:
Water vapor is a greenhouse gas, which absorbs the heat radiated from the earth's surface. It allows less heat to escape back to space by trapping the heat energy in the lower atmosphere and keeps the atmosphere warm.
Explanation:
Water vapor is formed through a process called evaporation. In this process, water from the ocean, rivers, and lakes evaporates to become water vapor using the energy from the sun. Water vapor also moves into the atmosphere by transpiration (plants) and sublimation (snow and ice).
The water vapor cools down and transforms into water droplets by a process called condensation, as it rises high in the atmosphere where the air is cooler. This water droplets that formed by condensation make up clouds.
When the earth’s surface get heated by the sunlight, some of the heat radiates back into the atmosphere and most of this heat is absorbed by gases in the atmosphere called green house gases. This process is called greenhouse effect, which keeps the earth warm. The green house gases mainly consists of carbon dioxide and water vapor. Water vapor absorbs the heat radiated from the earth's surface. It allows less heat to escape back to space by trapping the heat energy in the lower atmosphere and keeps the atmosphere warm.
The amount of water vapor in the atmosphere is directly proportional to the temperature. When addition of the other greenhouse gases causes a temperature increase (such as extra CO2 from fossil fuels), more water evaporates and this leads to an increase in water vapor which further increases the atmospheric temperature since water vapor is a greenhouse gas. So, water vapor is part of a positive feedback system.
Hello there ^ _ ^
The two functions of cilia in protists are :
1. sweeps food toward the protist's food passageway
2. moves a protist forward by beating back and forth
I hope this help!
