In this context he uses the metaphor because the literary device sight is used to build Oedipus Rex and his inability to see

Explanation:

The time to reflect for Oedipus sins are given by making him blind his physical blindness gives him the time to reflect upon his mistakes done over the period of time

Answer:

Active uptake (which I think you mean active transport) is important when the concentration gradient is against that of a certain substance, so it doesn't cross the membrane through diffusion or passive transport. It is sometimes necessary if a substance needs to move across a membrane but can't do so due to electrical charge or that there is a substance on the other side of the membrane preventing diffusion.

Genotype: 50% Aa and 50% aa

Phenotype: 50% Dimples and 50% no dimples

Explanation: Using a punnet square, we can figure out that the mother is recessive and the father is heterozygous. Putting the mother at the top of the square and the father on the side, you end up with the results above by crossing each square with the corresponding letters. It's okay if the letters end up backwards. Just be sure to face them the right direction, capitals being first once you finish.

Hope this helps!
