Answer:

Mountains are prominent landforms that have significant heights above sea level and/or the surrounding land. They are steeper than hills. A mountain or mountain range usually has a peak, which is a pointed top. Mountains have different climates than land at sea level and nearby flat land. Climate is the weather over an extended time period for a specific area. The climate of mountains tends to include colder weather, wetter weather, and thinner air. Thin air refers to the fact that at the higher altitudes of a mountain there is less oxygen to breathe. Also, mountains generally have less hospitable conditions for plants and animals. This leads to quite different evolutionary adaptations for those plants and animals that make higher elevations their home.

How many carbohydrates mainly use by human?
tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

Between 225 and 325 grams of carbohydrates a day.

Explanation:

The Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommends that carbohydrates make up 45 to 65 percent of your total daily calories. So, if you get 2,000 calories a day, between 900 and 1,300 calories should be from carbohydrates. That translates to between 225 and 325 grams of carbohydrates a day.

At times in the past, red hair in humans was thought to be a recessive trait, and at other times it was thought to be a dominant
Misha Larkins [42]

A) If red hair were a recessive trait, it could be inherited in two ways: 1) from heterozygous parents who both carry the red hair allele (the chances of having a child with red hair would be 25%), or 2) from red haired parents who are both homozygous (100% chances of red haired offspring).

B) If red hair were a dominant trait, it could be inherited only if at least one of the parents had red hair. There's 3 variables: 1) If both parents were heterozygous, they would have a 75% chances of having red haired children; 2) if one parent were heterozygous and the other were homozygous dominant, all of their offspring would have red hair; and 3) all children would be red haired if both parent were homozygous, one dominant and the other recessive.

This exercise is an example of Mendelian inheritance which states that the genes inherited from parents are separated into gametes in equal frequency. Each parent "donate" an allele to their offspring; this allele could be physically expressed or not depending on it being dominant or recessive (this means: silent) and if the parents being homozygous or heterozygous. Heterozygous individuals have two different alleles (one dominant and one recessive), while homozygous can have either 2 dominant alleles or 2 recessive ones.
