Answer:

Incomplete dominance

Explanation:

The traits in the organisms are controlled by the genes which are present in the form of two alleles on the chromosomes. Each allele represents the variant of the trait which is determined when these alleles unite during sexual reproduction.

The allele can be dominant when it shows its effect or it can be recessive when it is suppressed during fusion.

In the given question, the studied trait is the pattern of the hair which is present in two variants: the curly hair and the straight hair. When the parents for these traits were crossed they produced offspring which was intermediate between the curly and the white hair. This intermediate trait shows that neither of the two alleles which control the trait is dominant and the trait blended. This natural process is known as incomplete dominance.

Thus, Incomplete dominance is correct.

How could large molecules cross the cell mebrane
mestny [16]

Answer:

When molecules are too large or too charged to cross the plasma membrane by diffusion or osmosis, there are other methods to accomplish their transport into or out of the cell. For example, some proteins in the plasma membrane are known as protein channels and they form a way for large or charged molecules to pass through the membrane.

What are two factors that could slow the transfer of water from the reservoir flask to the receiving flask
erastovalidia [21]
The two factors that could slow the transfer of water from the reservoir flask to the receiving flask are pressure on the balloon, amount of water in flask. Water transfer is the movement of water from one place to another using water pipes, reservoir flask and others. Increasing the pressure on the flask and the amount of water will slow down the transfer of water by decreasing its velocity.
