Earth's temperature depends on the balance between energy entering and leaving the planet’s system. When incoming energy from the sun is absorbed by the Earth system, Earth warms. When the sun’s energy is reflected back into space, Earth avoids warming. When absorbed energy is released back into space, Earth cools. Many factors, both natural and human, can cause changes in Earth’s energy balance, including:

Variations in the sun's energy reaching EarthChanges in the reflectivity of Earth’s atmosphere and surfaceChanges in the greenhouse effect, which affects the amount of heat retained by Earth’s atmosphere

These factors have caused Earth’s climate to change many times.

This is the law of similarity. This is a heuristic that the brain uses to group things together that seem to be the same, but might have subtle differences. We tend to not be able to see those differences as easily, and our brains tend to group the objects together that have higher-level similarities (color, shape, size) and see them as a single object.

Lyrx [107]

Answer:

WwGg and wwgg

Explanation:

Here you need to analyze what you want to breed and how you get it.

One of the parents was white so it has at least one of its alleles dominant (W), but the other one should be (w) because some breeding is colored.

And even though, we can't see its color we know it has at least one allele for green (G) because of the offspring, and the other one could be green (G) or yellow (g).

The other parent was yellow so, it's both alleles only can be (ww) and (gg) all recessive.

Now we can draw a Punnet square and discover that the F1 of those parents (WwGg and wwgg) is 50% white and 50% green.
