Answer:

Runoff is one of the ways land water finds its way back to the ocean, so it can join the water cycle again.

Usually, all the water that falls to the land gets soaked in the soil. However, during long rainy periods, or in the spring, when snow and ice glaciers start melting, soil gets oversaturated with water, so this excess water start flowing on the earth's surface. Gravity directs this water from higher to lower areas, where it will flow into some valley river. This river will take the runoff water to another river, then to the sea or the ocean.

Now this water can evaporate and start the water cycle once more.

A punnet square can be described as a diagram which depicts the outcomes of a cross. For single traits, the cross is monohybrid. For studying two traits at a time, a dihybrid cross can be made.

The punnet square for the following Holstein cattle can be shown as:

BP Bp bP bp

BP BBPP BBPp BbPP BbPp

Bp BBPp BBpp BbPp Bbpp

bP BbPP BbPp bbPP bbPp

bp BbPp Bbpp bbPp bbpp

The results show the phenotypic ratio to be 9 black/polled : 3 black/horned : 3 red/polled : 1 red/horned
