Answer:

The correct answer will be option C.

Explanation:

Chromosome is a packaged structure of DNA observed in the cell nucleus during metaphase stage of cell division when aligned in the equatorial plate of the cell.

Chromosomes number varies in different species which facilitates replication and distribution of the DNA to new daughter cells during cell division.

Chromosome is formed after coiling of DNA many times around proteins called histones which provides the structural support to DNA and form a special structure nucleosomes,  further coil up and create chromatin loops which further coil around each other and make a full chromosome.  

Thus, option C is the correct answer.

Why does frozen water take on the pattern it does (hint: it has to do with water’s polarity)?
damaskus [11]

When ice forms, one water molecule's hydrogen atoms form weak hydrogen bonds with the tops of the oxygen atoms of two other water molecules. Lining up the water molecules in this pattern takes up more space than randomly arranging them.

<h3>What is polarity?</h3>

A physical property of compounds that connects other physical properties like melting and boiling points, solubility, and intermolecular interactions between molecules is referred to as polarity.

When ice forms, one water molecule's hydrogen atoms form weak hydrogen bonds with the tops of the oxygen atoms of two other water molecules.

Lining up the water molecules in this pattern takes up more space than randomly arranging them.

When water freezes, the water molecules slow down enough that their attractions arrange them into fixed positions. Water molecules freeze in a hexagonal pattern, with molecules further apart than when the water was liquid.

Thus, because of this frozen water take on the pattern it does.

What is true about relative humidity?
nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

D. It is the general term used to describe the amount of water vapor in the air

Explanation:

It's been a while since I've taken meteorology (2 years), but I think this is the correct answer because humidity in general refers to the amount of water vapor in the air and as we are discussing relative humidity, it cannot indicate the actual quantity of water vapor in the air (thus ruling out B). Therefore, D makes the most sense. I believe C refers to adiabatic cooling.
