Best Answer

Because a human hair is used as a type of 'spring' in the device, which expands or contracts according to the moisture present and this moves the indicator needle, thus providing a measurement of the atmospheric humidity.

What is donimint?

i think you mean dominent, if not then i don't know. but dominent is used when studying genes or traits. it means that one trait has a higher chance of being shown. dominent traits are easy to find you just look at the person. like say your mother had brown hair and your father had blonde.you and your brother both had brown hair. that would mean that brown was mos likely dominent and blonde was recessive. most likely your children would have brown hair depending on who you married, but being that blonde was recessive or (hidden) then theres chance that they or your third sibling could have blonde hair.


What does a heterozygous organism have?

It depends on the context. The only way to demonstrate practically that an organism is homozygous for a particular trait is to cross it (breed it) with another showing the recessive phenotype for that trait. When enough ofspring have been produced to be statistally significant then the conclusion can be drawn. It may also be possible to deduce whether an organism is homozygous by knowing the genotypes of the parents. Also, if you already know which phenotype is dominant then an organism showing the recessive phenotype is, by definition, homozygous. Of course, this all only applies to single gene inheritance!


Difference between dominant and recessive genes?

dominant genes are more likely to be passed down to a child than recessive genes. Here's an example: A woman has black hair and blue eyes. Her husband has blonde hair and brown eyes. Their child will most likely have brown eyes and black hair, because black hair and brown eyes are dominant genes, while blonde hair and blue eyes are recessive. It is, of course, still possible for the child to be blonde and blue-eyed, only less likely. However, if the father had blue eyes too, it would be most likely that the child would have blue eyes. Grandparents are also a factor: say that both parents have blue eyes, but one or more of the child's grandparents (or anyone down the genetic line, actually) has brown eyes. It is therefore also possible for the child to have brown eyes. hope it helped


When did the saying dumb blondes invent?

This stereo type came from a little science. You see, intelligent people have more zinc and copper in there hair, and copper results in a darker hair color... you see where I'm going with this. But then again, I am blond and I am on the A honor role, so it can go both ways.... But really, I think the term 'dumb blonde' is a rather new phrase invented in the past century.
