1.The trait is recessive. This means both your parents were carries, but did not show the trait. For example, B represents the allele, you're parents would have to both be Bb. This means that they are carriers, and you could have inherited either BB/Bb/bb - you actually inherited bb, which means because its a recessive trait you will show the trait. 

2. For your children, it depends on who you have them with. Because you're bb, you will definitely pass on the b allele, so any child you have would be a carrier and could potentially have the trait. If you have a child with someone BB, all your offspring will be Bb (carriers- as the kid gets one allele form each parent). If you have a child with someone who is bb, all your kids would definitely have the trait. However, if you have a child with someone who as Bb, then the four outcomes are Bb Bb bb bb, so there would be a 50% chance of your kid having the trait.



Hope this helps!! :)

Why are a plant's Stomata generally open during the day and closed at night?
marin [14]
When stomata are open, carbon dioxide enters the plant through stomata. Carbon dioxide is necessary for the process of photosynthesis in which it is converted together with water into oxygen and glucose. For most plants, it is necessary that stomata are opened during the day when there is a lot of Sunlight also necessary for the process of photosynthesis.

However, some plants from the arid locations have <span>stomata closed during the day, so they reduce water loss that way. In the night when is colder, stomata open and carbon dioxide enters through stomata. </span>

How would adding finer particles to the sand affect porosity?
OLEGan [10]

Explanation:

Porosity depends on the size, shape, and mixture of grains and particles that compose soil and rock. For instance, small particles such as clays can compact more closely together, reducing the amount of porosity. However, larger particles such as sand and gravel will have more spaces available between them.
