Explanation:

Phenotypes can cause by genes, environmental factors, or a combination of both.

Phenotypic variation, then, is the variability in phenotypes that exists in a population. For example, all people come in different shapes and sizes: height, weight, and body shape are phenotypes that vary.

Answer:

Mendel worked with pea plants showing complete dominance for various characteristics

- E.g. flower color, plants either have purple flowers or white flowers

- A particular genotype produces a recognizable phenotype

Airway management can be challenging in patients with down syndrome because their:

Because their TEETH ARE MISALIGNED AND THEY USUALLY POSSESS LONG TONGUE. Respiratory illness is common in people who have down syndrome and their unique airway anatomical factors makes airway management difficult during respiratory distress. For instance, they have narrower upper airway and smaller trachea.

Wave is a periodic (1) __________ that moves away from a source which carries (2) __________ with it. Waves can be typified acco

The correct answers to fill into the blank spaces are;

Wave is a periodic disturbance that moves away from a source which carries energy with it. Waves can be typified according to the direction of motion of the vibrating particles with respect to the direction in which the waves travel and according to medium .

Longitudinal waves vibrate perpendicularly to the direction in which the waves travel. This wave exhibits up and down motion. Longitudinal waves vibrate perpendicular or back and forth to the direction in which the waves travel.

Electromagnetic waves are combination of transverse and longitudinal waves. These move in a circular pattern as the waves pass by.

Mechanical waves need solid, liquid and gas medium to propagate or travel. Transverse, mechanical and surface waves are examples of mechanical waves.

Electromagnetic waves do not need medium to propagate. Radio waves, ultraviolet, infrared, and gamma rays are examples of electromagnetic waves. The nature of waves can be described through its terms, quantities and propagation.

The crust and trough refer to the highest point and lowest point of a wave pattern, respectively. The magnitude of a transverse wave is the maximum displacement of a particle of the medium on either side of its normal position when the wave passes. The frequency of periodic waves is the number of waves that pass a particular point for every one second while the Amplitude is the distance between adjacent crests or troughs.

The period is the time required for one complete wave to pass a particular point. The speed of the wave refers to the distance the wave travels per unit time. It is related to the frequency of the wave and wavelength through the following equation: wave speed= frequency x wavelength.
