evident that every F1 on each test was solely wild-type dominant. Since, for example, +/+ with SE/SE can only make +/SE which can be discovered using a Punnett grid, making the first generation only heterozygous, while making + the dominant trait. The second generation of offspring, however, is affected as the combination can create heterozygous and homozygous offspring, being affected by both phenotypes of + and SE. This is not entirely random, though, since a 3:1 ratio is maintained, with +…

Androgens are responsible for controlling the development of neutrons in the visual cortex during embryogenesis. This…

A female perfect score is a 21 minute three mile run, a 70 second flexed arm hang, and 100 sit-ups in two minutes.” There is a significant difference between the two perfect scores.

The main purpose in life is to reproduce offspring that will carry on your history after you pass away. Reproduction occurs when a male and female get intimate with each other. The only way that could happen is if they really prefer each other.

This occurred when Darwin saw an evolutionary change in peacocks that was not for survival, but to attract…
