a cell is the smallest structural and functional unit of an organism
Answer: Steep, high velocity, no silting. The high water speed picks up silt from the bottom instead of letting it settle to the bottom. When the land gets level like often happens at the mouth of rivers where the water spreads out and slows down, silt settles to the bottom and you could get a wide, shallow delta.

Explanation:
Geneticists use letters to represent alleles of different characters.
(Alleles: one of the two or more alleles of a character.)
A single letter is used to represent both the alleles of a particular character.
A capital letter represents a dominant allele, while a small letter represents a recessive one.
<u>The letters do not just have one standard representation</u>. same letter can be used to represent different characters. However, the letters may relate to the allele. For example: the letter 'B' can be used to represent Brown eyes.
When we use water, we often use too much. We waste it. When washing cars, showering, brushing our teeth etc. Because of wastefulness, there are places that don't have the luxury of being able to wash their car well, and can't water their lawns for more than a few minutes a day.
I hope I was able to help. Best of luck.
Answer:
This question lacks options, the options are:
A. Only recessive alleles are inherited from homozygous parents.
B. Dominant alleles grow weaker as they are passed from parents to offspring.
C. Only the parent with a dominant allele can pass that allele to offspring in sexual reproduction.
D. A heterozygous parent has an equal chance of passing either the dominant allele or the recessive allele to offspring.
The answer is D
Explanation:
This question involves a single gene coding for hair length in dogs. The allele for short hair (S) is dominant over the allele for long hair (s). This means that allele 'S' will always mask the phenotypic expression of allele 's' in a heterozygous state.
According to the question, two heterozygous dogs (Ss) were crossed to produce 6 shortt-haired offsprings and 2 long-haired offsprings. An heterozygous organism is that which contains two different alleles for a particular gene i.e. a combination of dominant and recessive alleles.
Based on this, during meiosis or gamete formation, an heterozygous dog (Ss) will produce gametes with the short hair allele (S) and long hair allele (s) in equal proportion i.e. 50-50. When the two gametes containing the recessive alleles (s) produced by each heterozygous parent fuses, an offspring with a recessive phenotype (long hair, ss) is produced.
Hence, a long-hair
phenotype can appear in the offspring of two short-haired dogs because a heterozygous parent has equal chance of passing either the dominant or recessive allele to the offspring.
