They will also turn brown if left exposed to the air long enough. The browning is oxidation. Plain raw potatoes that are sliced so the inner starch is exposed to the oxygen in the air will 'rust' or turn brown. Mashed potatoes are cooked and have other ingredients added to them like salt, butter, milk, etc. This cooking and the additives helps preserve the potatoes from oxidation for a longer period of time.

How do combination of alleles on your genes determine your phenotype?
Your phenotype is a characteristic of how you look, for example if you have brown or blue eyes. You inherit one allele for each characteristic you have from you mom and dad. Say your mom gives you a blue eyes allele and your dad gives you a brown eyes allele. Since brown eyes usually dominate over blue eyes, you would most likely be heterozygous for brown eye color, and you would have brown eyes. This would be represented by Bb, the B standing for brown eye color, the dominant trait, and the b standing for blue eye color, in this case the recessive trait. So, depending on what alleles you receive from your parents, you may look different than, for example, than your siblings do because they got a different set of alleles. This is possible because your parents both have 2 alleles, but they only give you one of each, so if both your parents give, for example, your sister a blue eye allele, she will most likely have blue eyes, even if you have brown.
What form is a gene that is always expressed if present?
This is the dominate gene, and is normally represent by a capital letter. Then gene which is not expressed is the recessive gene and is represented by a lower case letter. For example the if someone had expressed a brown eyed phenotype and did not carry the gene for blue eyes it be represented as BB (B standing for Brown). If they expressed the brown eye phenotype and also carried the gene for blue eyes it would be represented as Bb (b does not stand for blue it stands for NOT BROWN) While if someone had blue eyes it would be represented as bb

Do you use cooked potatoes to make fried potato cakes?
You can use leftover or freshly prepared mashed potatoes. If they were prepared with milk and butter, and are not sloppy, this gives them a tastier texture and they are not too soft to transfer to a plate. They are made into patted rounds a little more than half inch tall. Fry in heated butter or margarine to make a lovely light brown coating and heat them through. Each makes an individual serving. A great tradition from Southern New Jersey.
