Isobars represent adjusted atmospheric pressure. This removes pressure discrepancies caused by the location's relation to sea level or altitude. Isobars are also adjusted when necessary so that they never cross or touch. Weather maps with isobars give pressure information at a glance. They also give an approximation of wind direction because wind moves from high-pressure areas to low-pressure areas as large air masses move through the pressure differential.
Dominant refers to the relationship between two versions of a gene. Individuals receive two versions of each gene, known as alleles, from each parent. If the alleles of a gene are different, one allele will be expressed; it is the dominant gene. The effect of the other allele, called recessive, is masked.
Genes are segments of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) that contain the code for a specific protein that functions in one or more types of cells in the body. Chromosomes are structures within cells that contain a person's genes. ... A trait is any gene-determined characteristic and is often determined by more than one gene.
