These fuels are nonrenewable because they are limited substances which cannot be produced at the same rate at which it is used. Also, they cannot be REused, hence the wording non-REnewable. Hope this answers your question.

They are fossil fuels. Fossil fuels take millions of years to produce since they are the remains of decayed organisms that have decomposed under extreme pressures and temperatures to become a part of the earth's crust. Since we burn fossil fuels (ie gas, oil, coal) and they are used up quickly we use more than we produce therefore eventually if we carry on at the same rate we will run out of this resource. Therefore they are non-renewable.

At times in the past, red hair in humans was thought to be a recessive trait, and at other times it was thought to be a dominant
Misha Larkins [42]

A) If red hair were a recessive trait, it could be inherited in two ways: 1) from heterozygous parents who both carry the red hair allele (the chances of having a child with red hair would be 25%), or 2) from red haired parents who are both homozygous (100% chances of red haired offspring).

B) If red hair were a dominant trait, it could be inherited only if at least one of the parents had red hair. There's 3 variables: 1) If both parents were heterozygous, they would have a 75% chances of having red haired children; 2) if one parent were heterozygous and the other were homozygous dominant, all of their offspring would have red hair; and 3) all children would be red haired if both parent were homozygous, one dominant and the other recessive.

This exercise is an example of Mendelian inheritance which states that the genes inherited from parents are separated into gametes in equal frequency. Each parent "donate" an allele to their offspring; this allele could be physically expressed or not depending on it being dominant or recessive (this means: silent) and if the parents being homozygous or heterozygous. Heterozygous individuals have two different alleles (one dominant and one recessive), while homozygous can have either 2 dominant alleles or 2 recessive ones.
