Answer:

The dominant (light green) parent was heterozygote for the trait

Explanation:

According to Gregor Mendel in his law of dominance, an allele is said to be DOMINANT if it masks the phenotypic expression of another allele in a gene. The allele being masked is called RECESSIVE allele. In this case of a frog whose allele for light green color is dominant over the allele for brown color, the light green color allele (G) is dominant while the brown color allele (g) is recessive.

However, in a cross between that have light green frog and a brown frog, a small brown frog is produced. This is possible despite the green color being dominant because the genotype of the light green dominant parent is HETEROZYGOUS i.e. it contains both light green (dominant) allele and brown (recessive) allele.

Hence, when a gamete with recessive allele (g) is produced by the heterozygous light green frog (Gg), it mates with a recessive allele from the brown frog (gg) to produce a brown offspring (gg).

Answer:

By 1900, Fingerprint was the evidence which was collected at crime scenes to help positively identify suspects by one particularly unique trait.  No two people can have the same type of fingerprints. It is a unique characteristic which is even not common among identical twins. Therefore, was considered as an important evidence for identification of suspects and linking them with the scene of offence. In 1904, the city of St.Louis, Missouri used fingerprint evidence for the first time for criminal identification.

What is the order of the breathing process
NemiM [27]
Step 1-
Your diaphragm moves down as it contracts. Your ribs move outward. These movements make the space inside the chest larger.
Step 2-

Air rushes in through the nose and mouth and passes through the throat. Air then moves past the epiglottis which is open into the trachea.

Step 3

Air moves into your bronchi. The bronchi branch out and end in tiny air sacs, called alveoli.

Step 4

<span>Air moves into your alveoli. Oxygen moves through the walls of alveoli and capillaries, entering the blood.</span>

Step 5

Carbon dioxide moves from the blood through the walls of capillaries and alveoli in order to be expelled by the lungs.

Step 6

Your diaphragm moves up as it relaxes. Your ribs move inward. These movements make the space inside the chest smaller.

Step 7

<span>Your lungs are squeezed and air is pushed out of the alveoli. The air travels back through your bronchi, trachea, and nose and mouth.</span>
