Well firstly, alleles are different versions of genes. A dominant allele will show it's trait regardless of if the organism only has one copy of the allele (heterozygous). A recessive allele will show the effect only if two copies of the allele are present (homozygous)

If the two alleles are different, the plant is said to be a hybrid or heterogeneous for that traits. As Mendel noted, when both alleles are present, one allele masks or hides the other. The stronger allele is said to dominant, and the weaker allele that is masksed is said to be recessive.

What is the relationship among genes, chromosomes, and DNA?
horsena [70]
Chromosomes makes up genes while genes and chromosomes make up the entirety of DNA. A living organism inherits 46 chromosomes, 23 from each parent. These chromosomes are not genes but they form genes, which are just the traits of an individual that are unique. DNA is the entire make up of an organism that controls everything about a person such as likelihood to have disease or their physical appearance.

Flauer [41]

Answer:

Totipotent Stem Cells - They can differentiate into any type of human body cell or the placenta.

Example: Fertilized egg cells.

Pluripotent Stem Cells are from totipotent cells and can differentiate into any cell in the human body; however, not many are in the placenta.

Example: Blastocyst cells.

Multipotent Stem Cells - They can only differentiate into closely related cells.

Example: Blood stem cell

Unipotent Stem Cells - They can only produce their type of cell.

Sweating and panting are examples of which characteristic of life?
Viktor [21]

Answer:

Responding to the environment

Explanation:

Sweating and panting are mechanisms of homeostasis i.e the regulation of the body's internal environment in response to changes or fluctuations in the external environment.

Sweating is a physiological response to the body's core temperature rising above the limit of 36.5-37.5°C. Once the hypothalamus in the brain detects this rise in temperature, cooling mechanisms are initiated. One of these is sweating. Release and subsequent evaporation of sweat through the sweat glands produces a cooling effect.

Panting is a physiological response more observed in dogs. Dogs lack sweat glands and therefore cannot lower their core temperature through sweating. Panting utilizes saliva instead of sweat to lower body's temperature to the set limit.
