Let’s call them allele A, allele B and allele C. A diploid organism always has 2 alleles, which can be equal or different. So you can figure out these posible combinations: AA, AB, AC, BB, BC, CC (please note that AB = BA, so that counts as 1 genotype; the same with AC = CA, BC = CB). So there are 6 different posible genotypes. Besides, this doesn’t mean there are 6 phenotypes – you will have to gather information about dominance to see which phenotype is produced by each genotype (there are usually less phenotypes than genotypes).

Explain what maria and craters are and how they formed. best answer will be marked as brainlest plz help.
Katen [24]
Lunar maria (plural form of the Latin word mare, which means sea) are dark surfaces that can be found all over the moon (17% of the Moon is covered in them) that have been created as a result of volcanic eruptions. These areas are made up of basalt, and given that they seemed almost waterlike, the astronomers in the distant past mistook them for seas, whence their name comes.
When it comes to craters, their origin is quite similar - volcanic eruptions created them. When lava starts erupting from a volcano, it has to get out from somewhere - and thus craters are created. If you are referring to lunar craters, however, there are many speculations as to how they were created: due to volcanic eruptions, meteoric impact, or glacier activity.
