The appropriate answer is A. the density of ice would be greater than the density of liquid water and so ice would not float. Density can be defined as mass per unit volume. Any substance whose mass is great and occupies a relatively small volume is going to be dense.
Water expands by nine to ten percent when it freezes and this expansion increases the space occupied or the volume and so the density of ice is less than water.

Question: A gene for corn has two alleles, one for yellow kernels and one for white kernels. Cross pollination of yellow corn and white corn results in ears of corn that have an approximately even mix of yellow and white kernels. Which term best describes the relationship between the two alleles?
a) Incomplete dominance
b) Genetic recombination
c) Chimerism
d) Codominance
Answer:
d) codominance
Explanation:
Codominance is a pattern of inheritance when none of the alleles of a gene is able to mask the expression of the other allele of the same gene. When the two alleles are present together in a heterozygous genotype, both are expressed and the phenotype of the heterozygote is different from both the pure breeding parents. In the given example, cross-pollination of yellow corn and white corn results in the ears of corn that have an approximately even mix of yellow and white kernels. This means that the heterozygote expresses both the allele for the corn color. Therefore, it represents codominance.
The answer is to your question is A
Answer:
Barr bodies are small bodies that are dark staining bodies that show the inactivated X chromosome, these sex chromatin bodies attach to the membrane of the nucleus of interphase cells.
One less of the total number of X-chromosome (n-1) represents the number of Barr bodies.
Then,
The number of Barr bodies with Klinefelter would be:
Klinefelter (47,XXY): (n-1) = (2-1) = 1 Barr body as here two X chromosome present.
Similarly, for
Turner (45,XO): (n-1) = (1-1) = 0 Barr bodies (X chromosome = 1)
Now, as per the question, the bar bodies for karyotypes given
47,XYY: (n-1) = (1-1) = 0 Barr bodies
47,XXX: (n-1) = (3-1) = 2 Barr bodies
48,XXXX: (n-1) = (4-1) = 3 Barr bodies
