Part A: Water molecules are polar, meaning that they are neutrally charged overall, but with partial positive charges on the H atoms and a partial negative charge on the O atom. Thus, polar molecules like the salt, are like the water, neutrally charged and its ions interact with both the partially positive and partially negative parts of the H2O molecules.

Part B: In a dissolution of salt in water, the solvent is the water and solute is the salt. Solvent is a substance that allows the dispersion of another substance in itself, like the water in this solution. A solute is a substance that can be dissolved, dispersed in a solvent.

This type of reproduction produces variety in species.
ruslelena [56]
Sexual Reproductions (i.e. Meiosis)


In Meiosis you have a crossing over stage in prophase I, which will result in the exchange of genetic material + the random assortment at metaphase 1 and 2 increases the variety.

There is approximately 10 billion different ways that a child can look from a mixture of the paternal and maternal genes due to all the random events that happen in meiosis/ sexual reproduction.
