That's correct - it's a square where on one axis, the paternal allele (allele = one of the possible forms of the same gene), and on another the maternal allele is listed. Often, it's also indicated whether an allele is recessive or dominant.

Then, in the table that results, all the possible "combinations" of allele between the paternal and maternal party are created. If you count how often a certain combination appears, it indicates the likelihood of that combination.
See the picture (though it is directly from Wikipedia, please note). The likelihood of BB is 25%, of Bb is 50%, and of bb 25%.

The decision to visit planets other than Earth is not supported by everyone. What would be a good argument against sending human

Ann [662]

Answer:

Sending humans to other planets may cause danger. We dont fully know what these planets are capable of doing. If there is such a thing as life on other planets then we still dont know weather or not life there is friendly or not. They could be harmful, because just as we dont know know exactly who or what they are, they dont know who or what they are either, so its a high chance they may want to defend themselves.

Quade is studying for an exam, which will cover neurons and action potentials. He has drawn a diagram that shows the segments of

VMariaS [17]

Answer: positive sodium ions

Explanation:

This relates to the Action Potential which is what a nerve cell goes through when it needs to send information down the nerve cell to another cell and so on till it gets to the destination of the message.

The information is transmitted when the segments of the axon fire and when they do, positive sodium ions come in from outside the cell to the inside thereby making the inside positive. The previous segment would return to a resting potential when potassium ions which are negative, rush into the cell.
