Answer:

Cohesion refers to the attraction of molecules for other molecules of the same kind, and water molecules have strong cohesive forces thanks to their ability to form hydrogen bonds with one another.

Explanation:

*Cohesive forces are responsible for surface tension, a phenomenon that results in the tendency of a liquid’s surface to resist rupture when placed under tension or stress. Water molecules at the surface (at the water-air interface) will form hydrogen bonds with their neighbors, just like water molecules deeper within the liquid. However, because they are exposed to air on one side, they will have fewer neighboring water molecules to bond with, and will form stronger bonds with the neighbors they do have. Surface tension causes water to form spherical droplets and allows it to support small objects, like a scrap of paper or a needle, if they are placed carefully on its surface.  Water molecules inside the center of the droplet have more neighboring water molecules to interact with than water molecules at the surface. Thus, the water molecules at the surface form stronger interactions with the neighbors they do have.*

Duchenne muscular dystrophy is a serious condition caused by a recessive allele of a gene on the human x chromosome. the patient
dedylja [7]
Duchenne muyscular dystrophy is caused by a mutation on the X chromosome, so a male gets it from his mother's X, if she is a carrier. The male child gets a Y and no X from his father, so the disease is always transmitted through the X from the mother. If a female gets Duchenne muscular dystrophy she has to have two X chromosomes, one from a carrier mother and another from from an affected father. This is virtually impossible because most males die before childbearing age and there is no way a female child can get an X from a man who does not live long enough to procreate. About eight percent of carrier women do show some muscle weakness, but they do not have the disease.

In plants, what type of tissue is responsible for transporting water and nutrients?
lidiya [134]
Vascular tissue is responsible for transporting water and nutrients in plants. The correct answer in regards to the given question is option "c". The Vascular tissue consists of the Xylem and the Phloem. The main function of the Xylem is to transport water and minerals throughout all parts of the plant. Phloem on the other hand is responsible for transporting organic molecules that are larger in size. The vascular system, consisting on the Xylem and the Phloem runs from the roots of the plats through the branches and upto the leaves. It controls the total transportation of the water and nutrients.

Darwin concluded that the finches all shared a common ancestor but had  developed different beak structures.  The second sentence best describes as an ecosystem.

Explanation:

  • When Charles Darwin traveled to the Galapagos Islands, he observed 14 distinct varieties of finches on the islands Darwin also observed that each finch variety  ate a different type of food and lived in a slightly different habitat from the other finches, Darwin concluded that the finches all shared a common ancestor but had  developed different beak structures. The second sentence best describes as an ecosystem.
  • An ecosystem is a huge group of living organism such as plants,animals, micro-organisms in a particular area.
  • An ecosystem is a community of living organisms related with the nonliving components in the  environment, together interacting as a system.
  • its abiotic constituents, includes minerals, climate, soil, water, sunlight, and all other nonliving elements, and its biotic constituents, consists of all its living members.
