Answer:

The oxygen atoms of water molecules attract electrons more than hydrogen atoms.

Explanation:

The uniqueness of water as a chemical substance is attriuted to its unique properties. These properties include being a universal solvent, having a high specific heat (temperature moderator), cohesive and adhesive nature etc.

This wonderful properties of water is due to its POLAR nature, which is when a substance has both positively and negatively charged parts to it. This is possible because the oxygen atoms (O) of water molecules attract electrons more than hydrogen atoms (H).

This POLARITY of water molecule is responsible for the HYDROGEN BONDING between water molecules and hence, contributes to the properties of water mentioned in the question (universal solvent, temperature moderator, and cohesive behavior)

The overload principle is defined as working harder as the body essentially grows fitter. This is to stimulate muscle hypertrophy against resistance as well as overall cardiovascular health. For instance, an experienced body builder should lift more weight up up to failure to grow even fitter.

LuckyWell [14K]
If the DNA polymerase did nothing special when a mispairing occurred between an incoming deoxyribonucleoside triphosphate and the DNA template, the wrong nucleotide would often be incorporated into the new DNA chain, producing frequent mutations. The high fidelity of DNA replication, however, depends not only on complementary base-pairing but also on several “proofreading” mechanisms that act sequentially to correct any initial mispairing that might have occurred.
