Answer:

Dominant character is expressed in both the condition i.e. heterozygous and homozygous.

Explanation:

In genetic the dominant allele is signified by capital letter and the allele which is recessive is signified by the smaller letter. The dominant character can be expressed in both the condition that is homozygous dominant(TT) or heterozygous dominant(Tt).

Therefore even the presence of a single allele of dominant character in the gene, the dominant character can mask or suppress the recessive trait from being appeared in the phenotype. Therefore pea plant that is heterozygous for the tallness trait have the dominant phenotype.

joja [24]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Tobacco is consumed during smoking which contains an addictive substance called Nicotine. Nicotine exerts its effect on the body by stimulating the acetylcholine receptors in the neurons. The stimulation of these receptors stimulates another neurotransmitter like glutamate, dopamine and GABA which produce addictive effects in humans.

Since the acetylcholine is involved in stimulating the other neurotransmitters therefore true is the correct answer.

Thus, true is the correct answer.

Levart [38]

Answer: The more active cells produce more carbon dioxide.

Explanation:

When the cells are constantly working the amount of oxygen consumed and more amount of carbon dioxide is released by the cells.

Chemo receptors in the circulatory system increases the ventilation so that more carbon dioxide can go out of the cell and more oxygen can get inside the cell.

This is because the more active cells more carbon dioxide and there is a sudden increase in the concentration of carbon dioxide which need to be corrected by the help of ventilation.
