The traits represented by genes are inherited independently of each other  (one from the male and one from the female gamete) and a trait can be dominant or recessive.  A dominant trait will be expressed when paired with a recessive trait while two copies of a recessive trait (one from each parent) must be present for the recessive trait to be expressed.

Ball peen hammers are most commonly used in automotive repair. They have rounded heads and are used to drive punches and chisels.

The cell nucleus contains the genetic material of the cell and is where DNA replication takes place.

The trachea branches into the left and right bronchi which each lead to a lung where the bronchi subdivide into smaller tubes called bronchioles. Each bronchiole ends in a small sac called an alveolus which allows oxygen from the air to enter the bloodstream via tiny blood vessels called capillaries.

The primary difference between internal and external combustion engines lies in where the power is developed. In an internal combustion engine fuel is ignited and burned inside the same container where the power is developed while in an external combustion engine the fuel is ignited outside the engine and the resulting power sent to it.

The mechanical advantage of a wheel and axle is the input radius divided by the output radius:

MA = \( \frac{r_i}{r_o} \)

In this case, the input radius (where the effort force is being applied) is 5 and the output radius (where the resistance is being applied) is 8 for a mechanical advantage of \( \frac{5}{8} \) = 0.63

The atomic mass of an element listed in the Periodic Table represents the average mass of a single atom of that element and is measured in atomic mass units (amu). This number is an average as some elements have isotopes with atoms that vary in their number of neturons and, therefore, differ in weight.

By buying two shirts, Monty will save $50 x \( \frac{40}{100} \) = \( \frac{$50 x 40}{100} \) = \( \frac{$2000}{100} \) = $20.00 on the second shirt.
