B. Eventually, all the mice that descend from this pair will have black fur.
C. The trait of agouti fur is an advantage to mice for avoiding predators.
D. The trait of agouti fur is dominant over the trait of black fur.
D.
What forces that destroy landforms and causes damaging changes in the Earth’s surface?
destructive forces
How can something be both constructive and destructive?
May be a Destructive force or Constructive force
Some earthquakes pull the earth apart; in this case, the earthquake is a destructive force.
Other earthquakes push the two parts of the earth’s crust together, forming mountains; in this case, the earthquake is a constructive force.

c. tall and green-colored seeds
d. short and yellow -colored seeds
A. tall and yellow- colored seeds

What is the probability that the offspring of the parents would be born with blonde hair?
BB and bb
25%
I have long wavelengths and low frequencies.
