Work is measured in:

75% Answer Correctly

watts

joules or newton-meters

amps

horsepower

75% Answer Correctly

a biome

a population

a community

Traits represented by genes may be which of the following?

82% Answer Correctly

recessive

all of these

dominant

expressed


Solution

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.

75% Answer Correctly

diaphragm

pulmonary

trachea
