Aquatic organisms in lakes and ponds are often able to survive the water underneath a layer of ice because the water underneath

the ice remains liquid. Which property of water is primarily responsible for creating these favorable conditions for aquatic life?

<h2>Answer:</h2>

<u>The property is that </u><u>water expands when it freezes and oxygen is trapped inside</u>

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Underneath the frozen upper layer, the water remains in its liquid form and does not freeze. Also, oxygen is trapped beneath the layer of ice. As a result, fish and other aquatic animals find it possible to live comfortably in the frozen lakes and ponds. The oxygen is present in water under the ice and this oxygen is used for breathing by the marine and aquatic animals.

Are birds and crocodiles homologous or analogus behaviors?
Nady [450]

Analogies are the result of convergent evolution. Interestingly, though bird and bat wings are analogous as wings, as forelimbs they are homologous. Birds and bats did not inherit wings from a common ancestor with wings, but they did inherit forelimbs from a common ancestor with forelimbs.

The normal sequence of genes along a hypothetical chromosome is ABC*DEFGH, where letters represent genes and the asterisk (*) re
Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

The correct option is e

Explanation:

An inversion mutation is a situation in which a sequence of the gene on a chromosome breaks out and rearranges itself from reverse (to the beginning) and then attaches itself back to the point of breakage of the same chromosome.

From the question, mutation changed the gene sequence from ABC*DEFGH to ABC*DGFEH. From this mutation, it can be seen that the gene sequence "EFG" broke-out, rearranged itself from reverse to the beginning as "GFE" and then attached itself back to the points of breakage.

NOTE: This type of inversion is called paracentric inversion since the centromere (represented as * in the question) is not part of the breakage.
