Answer:

Mendel's law of independent assortment

Explanation:

Gregor Mendel is a really important figure in genetics, his work on pea plants provided us with many of the fundamentals of genetics that we still have today!

Mendel proposed 3 laws:

1. The law of dominance - this law states that where there are two different alleles (heterozygous) the organism will always express the dominant trait over the recessive trait

2. The law of segregation - this law states that offspring will inherit one allele from each parent, because allele pairs separate in the process of meiosis, such that each gamete contains 1 allele of each trait. When the zygote is formed, it contains an allele from each parent.

3. The law of independent assortment - this law states that traits are independent from one another at the time of gamete formation. The genes are segregated separately from one another, as the presence of one does not impact the presence of another.

This example shows that all combinations of the height and color allele are possible, and therefore nicely demonstrates the law of independent assortment

Which of the following could be discovered by studying the gross anatomy of a cadaver?
snow_lady [41]
<span>Studying the gross anatomy of a cadaver can show an individual the total physiology of a human. By dissecting a cadaver or deceased human, you can study the nervous and cardiovascular system as well as the organs and other internal tissues. For example, muscle origin and insertions on bone, blood supply to the muscle and nervous stimulation of the muscle can be studied. Other areas that can be seen are the location of major organs in the thorax and the blood supply to each of them. The discovery of how the cadaver died can also bee seen during the dissection in many cases.</span>

What is condensation
RUDIKE [14]

Condensation is the phase change from gas to liquid.  You can see condensation in the real world if you have a very cold drink.  A bottle of water filled with ice will attract water vapor from the air, and it will condensate around the bottle because the temperature is lower, which facilitates the phase change.  The outside of the bottle will contain a bunch of water droplets.

Hope this helps!!

How does DNA lead scientists to better classify organisms?<br> ANSWER FAST!! PLEASE!!!
eimsori [14]
DNA acts as a sort of set of instructions for building an organism.
In that way, different types of organisms--plants, animals, bacteria, etc.--can all be differentiated through their DNA because it is directly linked to how they function.
