Answer:

when the water freezes, its molecules are perfectly ordered and separated from each other at the same distance. This generates, that in the ice there are less water molecules in a certain volume, that is, they occupy more space.

The ice (frozen water) when expanding, causes its density to become lower than in a liquid state. For this reason the ice floats in the water and allows life under frozen lakes.

Zielflug [23.3K]

The brain code or the neural code, which is sometimes also referred as the mind code is a interpretation of the neural activity taking place in our body. It refers to the interpretation of the activity in the brain (cerebral cortex) as data structure. It represents the mental activity as a step by step data flow in the different structures from the point of generation of the impulses to the actual sensation.  

In this case, the neural coding of the optical signals is given, hence, it is a type of brain code or neural code.

kifflom [539]

The answer is there (3). This is because a mitochondrion has it own DNA called mitochondrial DNA. Therefore the three genetic materials from different parents (mitochondria from donor mother, DNA from biological mother and DNA from biological father) would be present in the baby. Somatic nucleus transfer is the medical procedure used when the biological mother has mitochondria disorder which she would not wish to pass to her offsprings (which are inherited maternally).
