Giving away all my points for this!!

Answer 1

Answer:1).Although an individual gene may code for a specific physical trait, that gene can exist in different forms, or alleles. One allele for every gene in an organism is inherited from each of that organism's parents. ... Alleles produce phenotypes (or physical versions of a trait) that are either dominant or recessive.

2). Boys and girls are equally likely to get DNA from their grandmother as they are to get DNA from their grandfather. Take a look at a real example of the DNA that two siblings share with each of their grandparents. As you can see, they did not inherit exactly 25% of genetic information from each grandparent.

3). Nurture is the process of caring for and encouraging the growth or development of someone or something.

4). Sea turtles use two cues to find the ocean after they hatch. One is light. The surface of the ocean reflects light. The hatchlings look for the twinkling of the sun or moon light bouncing off the ocean.

Step-by-step explanation

Answer 2

1) Heredity, also called inheritance or biological inheritance, is the passing on of traits from parents to their offspring; either through asexual reproduction or sexual reproduction, the offspring cells or organisms acquire the genetic information of their parents.

2) Looking more like one parent or the other is dependent on the gene versions each parent has. And which ones happen to get passed down. We have two copies of each of our chromosomes and so have two copies of each of our genes.

3) Nurture refers to all the environmental variables that impact who we are, including our early childhood experiences, how we were raised, our social relationships, and our surrounding culture. Nurture assumes that correlations between environmental factors and psychological outcomes are caused environmentally. For example, how much parents read with their children and how well children learn to read appear to be related. Other examples include environmental stress and its effect on depression.

4) Sea turtles use two cues to find the ocean after they hatch. One is light. The surface of the ocean reflects light. The hatchlings look for the twinkling of the sun or moon light bouncing off the ocean.
