Answer:

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.

<h2>The Forearm</h2>

Explanation:

The proximal end of the radius illustrates the relationship of form and function. The cup-like surface of the radial head articulates with the rounded shape of the capitulum. This forms a joint that allows for movement of elbows and forearms.

Radius and ulna are the two bones of the forearm.  Their proximal ends articulate and fit into the cup like end of the humerus. This forms a synovial joint called the elbow joint.  The movement of this joint allows the forearms to supinate and pronate.

What are the two factors that affect the friction between two surfaces
BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

The two factors are:

• The kind/type of surface involved.

• The force that the surface are being pushed together.

Explanation:

Friction can be said to be the general term used to describe the force that one surface exert on another when they rub against each other.

When the surface is partially not smooth or totally rough, a greater force is been needed to move one surface past the other.

The weight of the can also significantly be a key factor. This is where the need to friction reduction come to play a role; and need for friction reducers like lubricant, rollers etc helps.

If I subtract 20 from my number, then square the result, I get the same answer as if I square my number, then subtract 20 from t
Natasha_Volkova [10]

The value of the unknown number is 10.5.

Let the unknown number = x

When 20 is subtracted from the number and the result is squared which is equal to the square of the unknown number minus 20:

(x - 20)² = x² - 20

<em>expand the equation;</em>

x² -  40x  +  400 = x²  - 20

<em>collect similar terms together;</em>

x² - x² - 40x = -20 - 400

-40x = -420

x = \frac{420}{40}\\\\ x = 10.5

Thus, the value of the unknown number is 10.5.
