In Lakota Woman, Mary Crow Dog writes on page 76 about being introduced to the American Indian Movement, a grassroots Native American activist movement that started in St. Paul, Minnesota to deal with problems related to Native Americans living in the city. They were mainly urban Indians who were cut off from traditional ways, and they worked with the Sioux on the reservation. She writes that the Sioux were kept behind what they called the "Buckskin Curtain," which kept them isolated from modern life. She writes that by working together, the Indian movement became a national force. She says that as a result of being introduced to the American Indian Movement (AIM), she stopped drinking, and that "Others put away their roach clips and airplane glue bottles" (page 76). In other words, AIM gave Mary Crow Dog something to care about so that she gave up abusing substances, as did others. Later, she became a speaker at AIM rallies at colleges and in churches and met many prominent celebrities. She also joined major protests such as the Trail of Broken Treaties, thereby expanding her sense of the world.

What is the meaning of "juggling fiends" in Macbeth?

Macbeth is beginning to realize that the three witches have been deceiving him since he first encountered them. Like jugglers, they have kept changing their forecasts in order create confusion. This is particularly apparent when the Second Apparition they raise in Act IV,   Scene 1 tells him that no man of woman born can overcome him in hand-to-hand battle--and then Macbeth finds himself confronted by the one man he has been avoiding out of a... Macbeth is beginning to realize that the three witches have been deceiving him since he first encountered them. Like jugglers, they have kept changing their forecasts in order create confusion. This is particularly apparent when the Second Apparition they raise in Act IV,   Scene 1 tells him that no man of woman born can overcome him in hand-to-hand battle--and then Macbeth finds himself confronted by the one man he has been avoiding out of a sense of guilt, and that man tells him: Despair thy charm. And let the angel whom thou still hast serve...

She makes public appearances with him, but there may be some awkwardness between them because of her inability to have children.

What is the probability that a cross between parents who are both homozygous recessive for trait will have offspring that are homozygous recessive...

In the question, both parents are homozygous recessive for a trait. Therefore, the only genes present in each parent's genotype would be two copies of the recessive gene.  If these parents decide to have offspring, 100% of their children will inherit two recessive alleles and will express the recessive trait. An example of this can be demonstrated with the sickle cell anemia allele. If both parents have sickle cell anemia, then all of their offspring...

An example of this can be demonstrated with the sickle cell anemia allele. If both parents have sickle cell anemia, then all of their offspring will have the disease phenotype. The disease phenotype of sickle cell anemia re...
