Molecules and atoms that are inputs to a chemical reaction are known as which of the following?

Traits represented by genes may be which of the following?
all of these |
|
expressed |
|
recessive |
|
dominant |
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.

|
mass depends on the location where it is measured |
Mass is the amount of matter something has while weight is the force exerted on an object's mass by gravity. So, although a person's mass doesn't change when going from the Earth to the Moon, their weight will decrease because the force of the Moon's gravity is much less than that of Earth.
