Heredity is the tendency for traits to be passed from parent to offspring. 3. Why did Gregor Mendel choose garden peas to student for his experiments? Mendel chose to work with the garden pea because several of its characteristics made it easy to work with: many varieties were available‚ he knew

When an employee is hired at a company‚ oftentimes a background check is necessary in order for the hiring process to proceed. Companies check future job candidate’s criminal backgrounds‚ as well as prior job performance. They may also check an employee’s credit. Employers want to know who they are working with before they hire sometimes. In my opinion‚ criminal background checks are definitely necessary. For example‚ employers need to know if the person they are hiring robbed a convenient store

Biology project Measuring Light Intensity Soil moisture and soil pH meters are also available - both are used by simply pushing the probe into the soil and reading themeter. Errors can be made when measuring abiotic factors when the soil moisture or pH meter probes are not cleaned between readings. As always the results can be made more reliable by taking many samples. Here are some examples: Daisies The more light available‚ the more daisy plants will be present.0 This is because daisies
