The question is a bit too vague to answer in great detail. In humans, there are cases of polydactyly which are either autosomal dominant or autosomal recessive, depending on how the extra digit is placed. To the best of my knowledge, there are cases which are merely genetic mutations but, for the most part, it is in the genes!

What is the transmission of physical qualities you receive from your parents and pass on to your offspring and the law by which living things tend to repeat chracteristics from one generation to the n?

The transmission of physical qualities from parents to offspring is called heredity. This process follows the principle of genetics, specifically Mendelian laws, where characteristics are passed down through the transmission of genes from one generation to the next.


How will the height be expressed in the first- and second-generation plants?

In the first-generation plants, the height may vary due to genetic recombination from the parent plants. In the second-generation plants, the height will tend to show more consistency as the offspring inherit a mix of genetic traits from the first-generation plants, resulting in a more predictable range of heights.


Why alpha particles tend to produce more ions than beta particles or gamma rays when they pass through matter?

Alpha particles have a high ionizing power beacaue they have a great linear transfer of energy.


In what area of living has the most generation gap?

Technology is an area of living that often has the most significant generation gap. Older generations may struggle to keep up with new devices and software, while younger generations tend to adapt quickly and utilize technology in ways that are foreign to older individuals. This gap can lead to differences in communication styles, access to information, and even social interactions.


Is a dominant trait seen in the first generation or the second generation?

Dominant traits tend to manifest whenever they are inherited. The real question is, "When do you see recessive traits?" Traits are coded in genes. We all inherit genes from both of our parents. If the dominant trait is capital Y and the recessive trait is lowercase y we can calculate the odds fairly easily. There are only four combinations that can be inherited from one pair of parents: YY, Yy, yY, and yy (this is usually visualized using a "punnet square"). Only in the case of both inherited traits being lowercase y will we see the recessive trait. Otherwise, we will usually see the dominant trait.

Is poly cotton good for t shirt?

A poly/cotton blend material is excellent for t-shirts. These tend to be the softest shirts and artwork/designs look better on this fabric and won't crack or chip as easily as it would on a 100% cotton t-shirt.

People tend that they're involved in the process of teaching or learning culture?

Cultural transmission refers to the process by which individuals pass on beliefs, behaviors, and values from one generation to the next. This can happen through various means such as storytelling, rituals, and observation. It is a fundamental aspect of human societies and shapes our identities and relationships.


Why is generation y called y?

Generation Y refers to the population group in the US born from somewhere around 1976 to around 2000. All population groups tend to be tarred with generalizations, some accurate, and some completely missing the mark. Generation Y followed Generation X. The coiners of generation names evidently had a lapse of creativity.

What is the diff between mono cell and poly cell in solar panel?

The cell structure determines the way solar energy is captured. Mono cells are good for direct sunlight, while Poly cells are good for indirect sunlight. As an example you would use mono cell on top of your roof, while you would use poly cells on the side of your house.
