on can be drawn using this information?
A. The trait for for albinism is expressed when two different alleles from one parent are passed to an offspring

B.The trait for albinism is expressed when two different alleles from two parents are passed to an offspring

C.The trait for albinism is expressed when one recessive allele from one parent is passed to an offspring

The correct answer is D.  In order for recessive trait to be expressed in the phenotype of the offspring, it must receive a recessive allele from each parent, making it homozygous for the recessive gene.

Why are marshmellows scientificlly the best tasting thing ever?
yKpoI14uk [10]
Marshmallows are probably so delicious because of several important factors. They are fluffy, soft, and oh-so sweet.

This type of membrane transport moves substances against the concentration gradient from an area of low concentration to an area
sashaice [31]

<u>Answer</u>:- Active transport

<u>Explanation</u>:-

There are two types of membrane transports

1. Passive transport - this type of transport occurs without the input of any energy and the molecules move along the concentration gradients that is from <em>high concetration to low concentration.</em>

2. Active transport- this type of transport takes place to move the molecules against the concentration gradient that is from <em>low concentration to high concentration.</em>

<em>The active transport is of two types:</em>

1. <em>Primary active transport-</em> in this type of transport <em>ATP</em> is used as an energy source to move the substances against the concentration gradient.

2.<em>Secondary active transport</em> - in this type of transport the gradient formed by the active transport is utilized and it involves the movement of 2 substances at a time aross the membrane. That is the movement of one molecule is coupled to another.


  • The membrane proteins that are associated with active transport are called as <em>carrier proteins</em>. These proteins have a binding site for the molecules that they transport. Once they bind to the specific molecules, a conformation change is induced and this leads to the transport of the molecule across the membrane.

So, the <em>active transport is basically responsible for utilizing the energy from ATP and carrier proteins to move the substances across the membrane against their concentration gradient i.e. from low concentration to high concentration.</em>

This part is used to bring the specimen into sharp focus. This part causes a very small up and down motion when used.
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

Fine focus.

Explanation:

If you're referencing a microscope, then it would be fine focus. Coarse focus is a basic focus used to properly see a specimen, while fine focus enhance clarity and precision. To use both, you have to gently twist a knob until you can see the specimen at a desired clarity.

Here's a reference image if you need it, it's labeled all the parts of a microscope.

What are some of the environmental impacts caused by increasing carbon dioxide in the ocean? List at least 3-4
Leno4ka [110]
It would lower the pH, raise the acidity of the water, and it would kill off a lot of marine life if it got too high. As species begin to die their predators follow, and this could cause mass extinction.
