Answer:

100%

Explanation:

Let PP represent homozygous dominant trait for widow's peak &

Let Pp represent  an individual heterozygous for widow's peak.

If both traits cross together;  the chance that the child will have a widow's peak = ???

i.e PP × Pp

   |     P     |     P

P  |    PP   |     PP        

p  |    Pp   |     Pp

The progeny are: ( PP, PP, Pp, Pp)    

When a trait is dominant, only one allele is required for the trait to be observed. A dominant allele will mask a recessive allele, if present.

From our question, one  parent is homozygous dominant (PP) and the other is  heterozygous (Pp):  therefore  all their offspring will be  two homozygous dominant (PP) and two heterozygous  (Pp) and they will all possess a widow’s peak.

Therefore, the chance that a child will have a widow's peak = 100%

Fusion is defined as the mixing of two lighter nuclei to form one bigger and heavy nuclei. For example, two atoms of hydrogen combine together to form the helium atom. It is also termed as transmutation, as one form of element is transformed into another.

An atom is the smallest unit of any substance. It cannot be further broken down into simpler units. The composition of an atom includes various subatomic particles. These are: a nucleus surrounded by various electrons. Nucleus itself is made up of two subatomic particles: protons and neutrons.

Explain the role of the valves in the heart
beks73 [17]

The valves in the heart make sure that blood goes in only one direction. For example, when blood is pumped from the left ventricle the mitral valve won't allow the blood to come back into the left atrium. And the aortic valve will prevent the blood from coming back into the left atrium from the aortic arch.
