The answer is; Warm water moves to the east instead of to the west


Normally, when the waters in the Pacific warm up, the prevailing winds that blow from east to west drag the warm surface currents westwards and upwelling of cold currents occur at the west coast of South America. However, in El Nino, the Pacific ocean waters heat more than usual. The prevailing winds weaken and begin to blow predominantly towards the east. The warm currents are therefore dragged to the east and cause torrential rains in Western coast South Americas.

Write a Sentence explaining the connection between dominant and recessive
earnstyle [38]

Answer:

The most common interaction between alleles is a dominant/recessive relationship. An allele of a gene is said to be dominant when it effectively overrules the other (recessive) allele. Eye colour and blood groups are both examples of dominant/recessive gene relationships.

The main difference between dominant and recessive trait is that dominant genes always passes the dominant behavior genes while the recessive ones pass the recessive behavior genes. In fact, the dominant genes are said to be more likely to pass to future generations, while the recessive ones are less likely to do that.
