Recessive means a weaker trait in genetics. Genes that mask other genes are called dominant and genes that can be masked are the weaker or recessive genes. Cystic fibrosis is a hereditary disease that mainly affects Caucasian children of European decent. The disease is caused by a defect in which cells make chloride pumps but fail to install them in the plasma membrane. Both parents must carry the recessive gene for a child to inherit the condition.

Which question can most help a writer revise an argumentative essay?

miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

Do details provide support for the claim?

Explanation:

Your claim is the biggest part of your essay, it sets the tone for what is to be written and the details need to support the claim to back it up, to show the background of the claim. These details need to be precise to the claim because if not, the essay will not nor ever be near considered a good essay and that goes for all essays that have a thesis or claim in general.
