Answer:

    Human eyes offer an extensive and beautiful color palette. However, it is well known that eye color is mainly determined for genetic reasons.

   From the color of the parents' eyes to that of the great-grandparents, one can predict what color the eyes of their descendants will be. Nevertheless, you should never forget that there can always be some surprise.

   Certainly, you should know that every human being has two types of genes: dominant and recessive. Both influence the color of the eyes and hair of the individual.

   Dominant genes are the strongest, as they exert the most influence on determining the color of the baby's eyes. On the other hand, recessive genes are weaker but do not cancel each other out. This means that when chromosomes come together after fertilization, one allele will prevail over the other.

    Let's look at the case where the father has blue eyes and the mother brown eyes. In this circumstance, there would be little chance of the child having blue eyes, as the brown phenotype is dominant over blue.

In this case, both parents must have blonde hair & brown eyes & they both carry the recessive gene for blue eyes.

Father:

B b - offers dominant and recessive gene

Mother:

B b - offers dominant and recessive gene

Brown-eyed children

Bb or BB

What type of environmental conditions do the camera systems need to withstand for three years?
nikklg [1K]

Cameras and video-shooters are essentially tough. They can withstand a lot, from insects to shark bites. However, in order to withstand being outside for such a long time of three years? That's a little tricky.

As we all know, the batteries can corrode if left in damp places, or if left in for too long. Therefor, this can't be damp. Nowadays, most cameras have plastic in various places, so leaving it somewhere hot could inevitably melt it. You don't want that. If your camera is left in the cold, (18°F, 10°C) then the batteries could be severely changed. If left in a cold place, the battery life could deplete by so much as half, so in very cold climates, you will very quickly run out of power.

In order for it to sustain 3 years, you will probably need to find a climates that is about 60°F (15.5556°C) in a drier location.

I hope this helped!
