The answers would be:

1. Allele - alternative form for a specific gene (either dominant or recessive)

2. Dominant - can prevent the allele from being expressed in a pair of genes

3. Genotype - the genes present in an organism

4. Heterozygous - it is a pair of non-identical genes that influence a trait in different ways.

5. Homozygous - a pair of genes that are identical in the way they influence a trait.

6. Hybrid - offspring from a cross between parents; has different phenotypes for a specific trait.

Here's a little bit more on the topic to help you out in the future:

Alleles are variant forms of genes. Each allele is found in a specific location of a chromosome and that location determines the trait that will be expressed.

There are two types of alleles: Dominant alleles and Recessive alleles.

A dominant allele is expressed physically while a recessive allele is the trait that is masked. If both alleles are present, the dominant allele usually masks the recessive allele. This phenomenon is called <u>complete dominance</u>. There are some traits where both alleles are equally expressed, which is called <u>co-dominance. </u>

Genotype is the set of genes present in an organism that is responsible for specific traits. Phenotype on the other hand is the physical expression of the trait, which depends on the genotype of the organism.

Alleles come in pairs, they could either be homozygous or heterozygous.

Homozygous pairs consist of either 2 dominant alleles or 2 recessive alleles. The genotype would look something like this:

2 dominant :RR                 or     2 recessive: rr

Heterozygous pairs consist of non-identical alleles, or it has one dominant and one recessive allele. So the genotype would look like this:

Rr

Finally, hybrid is the cross-breeding of two different species that are genetically different. There are many examples of hybrid species like the liger and the mule. The resulting off springs express traits that are different than both parents.

Which was an argument used to dispute the theory of plate tectonics?
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

Option D, Continents cannot cut through the ocean floor.

Explanation:

It was believed earlier that oceans were the land bridges that used to connect  different geologic plates of planet earth earlier, had now sank down and thus there exists no connection between the tectonic plates. Therefore,  without any link or connection, continents cannot cut through the ocean floor.

Also as per the Land Bridge Theory , there has been continuous shifting of dry land due to which identical land species on different continents were found.

Hence, option D is correct

Explain why there is a limited number of organisms in a food chain
tankabanditka [31]
There are different trophic levels at each stage. Trophic levels determine the amount of energy at each stage of the food chain. For example, the energy is 100% at the producer (plant), so it's the 1st trophic level, and so on. Energy amounts decrease as you go up a food chain, and you rarely find more than 5 animals in one because there is not enough energy left for the 6th consumer

Desert climates can have very hot days and very cold nights this is because of what
Bad White [126]
During the day the sun burns up and the sand soaks up the heat causing a oven effect. 
<span>While at night the wind will blow, and the sun is gone so the effect is like garages in the night. A great way to Yahoo or google search is "Desert climate and effects."</span>

irga5000 [103]

Answer:

Explanation:

Transcription and translation The information stored in a gene's DNA is transferred to a similar molecule called RNA (ribonucleic acid) in the cell nucleus during the transcription process. During protein synthesis, translation is the process of converting the sequence of a messenger RNA (mRNA) molecule to a sequence of amino acids. The genetic code describes the relationship between the base pair sequence in a gene and the amino acid sequence that it encodes.
