The correct answer is option D) Water is polar and the positive and negative ends of the molecule attract each other.

The water is a polar molecule, and forms a hydrogen bonding with the other water molecule. In the liquid state, the molecules of the water is in random motion, and the bond between the water molecules are continuously formed and deformed.

In the ice, the hydrogen bond between the water molecules become more stable, due to this, the molecules arrange themselves in a hexagonal pattern. Due to this arrangement, the allover space occupied is expanded. Hence, the ice is expanded than liquid water.

LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

Negative feedback.

Explanation:

The production of erythropoietin by the liver and kidneys is a negative feedback because with the production of erythropoietin, our body tends to move to become more stable state. The erythropoietin is produced by the liver and kidneys to increase the production of red blood cells if the quantity of red blood cells are lower than the normal range. If the number of red blood cells are decreases the oxygen level in our body is low that leads to unstable condition of the body but when the concentration of red blood cells increases, the body move towards stability.

Why is a single base-pair deletion mutation within a protein-coding sequence more likely to be harmful than a single base-pair c
Serggg [28]
A single base-pair deletion would cause a frameshift mutation, disrupting every codon sequence read after it. A single base-pair change, however, only affects one codon. It is therefore less likely to cause harm.
