Answer:

Answer is given below

Explanation:

amu is atomic mass unit. 1 amu indicates (1/12) th of mass of a carbon-12 atom.

Also, 1 amu is equal to average of rest mass of a proton and a neutron. Roughly, it has been estimated that amu indicated number of nucleons (proton+neutron) in an atom.

So, 1 amu means there is 1 nucleon.

So, 197.0 amu means there are 197 number of nucleons in gold.

Again, it has to be remembered that 1 amu = 1 g/mol

Recessive genes are _____.

AveGali [126]

Answer:

1) represented by a lower case letter
2) always masked by dominant genes

3) only expressed in the absence of a dominant gene

Explanation:

So if I take a black and a yellow marker- and tried drawing the yellow over the black- or the other way around- you'd still only see the black marker. The recessive trait is like the yellow marker. Now if I drew the yellow marker with another yellow marker you would see the yellow. I hope this helps!
