C because the moon has less mass than Earth the Gravitational Force is less and thus anything on the moon weighs less than on Earth

<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

<em>C.The gravity on the Moon is less than the gravity on Earth.</em>

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • <em><u>Mass of an object is the amount matter in an object, and is always constant</u></em> irrespectful of the place, be it on the earth or on the moon or on any other planet.
  • <em><u>Weight on the other hand is the measure of the gravitational pull acting on a body or an object.</u></em> Therefore, weight depends on the gravitational acceleration of a place. Hence, weight vary from one place to another depending on the gravitational pull.
  • This <em><u>explains why the weight of Neil Armstrong was different when on the moon surface and when on the earth's surface, due to the difference in gravitational acceleration on the two surfaces.</u></em> Gravitational acceleration on the moon surface being less than that on the earth surface means that he weighed less on the moon, 60 pounds.

How can two organisms with a dominant trait for a specific feature produce an organism with a recessive trait for the same featu
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

If the two organisms are heterozygous for the dominant trait.

Explanation:

For every trait, a diploid organism receives two forms of gene called ALLELE, from each parent. Allele is the variant form of a gene.

According to Mendel's law of dominance, for a particular trait, an allele is capable of masking the expression of another allele in a gene. The expressed allele is called the DOMINANT allele while the masked allele is called the RECESSIVE allele. Due to this, an organism can express a dominant trait even in a combined or heterozygous state i.e. different alleles.

When the two heterozygous organisms mate or are crossed, they undergo meiosis and their alleles are separated into GAMETES according to Mendel's law of segregation. For example; an organism with genotype (genetic make-up) Aa will produce gametes with A and a alleles.

Note that, a recessive trait can only be expressed in a homozygous state i.e. same allele. Hence, the two heterozygous organisms will produce gametes containing the recessive allele, which will likely combine to produce a recessive phenotype or trait.
