Front

What is co-dominance in genetics?

Back

Co-dominance is a genetic scenario where both alleles in a heterozygote are fully expressed, such as in blood type AB.

Front

What is secondary succession?

Back

Secondary succession is the process of ecological recovery that occurs in an area where a disturbance has destroyed a community but left the soil intact.

Front

Why does secondary succession create more biomass?

Back

Secondary succession creates more biomass because there are more nutrients available in the soil after a disturbance.

Front

What is facilitated diffusion?

Back

Facilitated diffusion is the process of passive transport of molecules across a cell membrane via specific transmembrane integral proteins.

Front

What is the role of antibodies?

Back

Antibodies are proteins produced by the immune system to identify and neutralize foreign objects like bacteria and viruses.
