Answer: Genes

Explanation: Genes that are responsible for muscle strength contributes to athletic performance but if you're being trained for sports and your gene responds to the training, then you may become a good athlete. It is also influenced by environmental factors.

Mother and father traits contribute athletic ability to their child.

Answer: phenotype

Explanation: phenotype is the expression of a particular gene.

Phenotypic expression can be masked by the effect of some environmental factor while some under favourable condition manifest themselves. For Thomas not to have expressed the genes despite the fact that he might have inherited it means his environment ( the adopted parent who have no interest in athlete) is playing a key role in supressing the expression of the traits. Until he finds an enabling environment the traits cannot find expression.

The inhabitants of the planet Mendel have three alleles for hair color: red (R), white (W) and blue (b). The R and W alleles exh
Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

4 RW pink hair color

Explanation:

Let the allele for red hair color = R

Let the allele for white hair color = W

Let the allele for blue hair color = b

Since R and W exhibit co dominance it means none of both traits have the tendency or capability to masked the other .

As such individual with RW genotype = PInk hair color

Allele b is recessive and only individuals with the genotype bb exhibit the blue allele  

Now; if a cross occurs between a red-haired Mendelian and a white-haired Mendelian

i.e

RR   × WW

we have

           R           R

W         RW       RW

W        RW         RW

So we have the following offspring :

4 RW = 4 pink

So theoretically , the possible phenotypes results to 4 RW pink hair color

After some time he was exposed to the white rat and later a loud noise of metal was made and it scared the boy. This exposure was repeated and eventually the boy became afraid of white furry things including animals.
