Devices such as a "life-preserving" coffin refers to a container that is equipped with a signaling device where any motion is detected through two mechanisms: a ring slipped around the occupant’s finger and a metal head plate. By fitting the typical hinged lid with a series of levers and springs, which activate via motion-detecting devices in the coffin, ultimately releasing the latch which were connected by wires to the coffin’s opening mechanism, with the slightest movement triggering the lid catch. The life-preserving coffin was a special burial casket which purpose is to was allow those mistakenly buried alive to safely get out. It is designed by Christian Henry Eisenbrandt in 1843. This special burial casket also features a mesh in its lid which would supposedly provide a limited supply of air post-burial.

Carolus Linnaeus, who is considered to be the FATHER OF TAXONOMY for his immense contribution to the classification of living organisms. Carolus Linnaeus between the year 1735 and 1758, developed a scientific system of naming organisms using two-way naming system called BINOMIAL NOMENCLATURE.

The two Latin names given to organisms were derived from their generic and specific epithet i.e. one of the names is GENUS and the other SPECIES. According to this question, the scientific name using the binomial naming system for Indian elephant is Elephas maximus.

Explain how the recessive trait for coat colour is hidden in cats when two parents that are purebred for different fur colour ar

AleksAgata [21]

When two parents are purebred it means that they are homozygous for the characteristic that's being tested (in this case the fur colour). When they are crossed, the offspring will obligatory be heterozygous, an allele of each type from its parents. So, the trait that comes up will be the dominant trait, while the recessive trait will be hidden.
