Need help :) with this question
sineoko [7]

Answer:

B.) Compound

Explanation:

It's a little hard to read, but it is not a mixture because the components are all bonded. It's not a single atom because there are two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. It's not an element because there is not just one type of atom (there are both hydrogens and oxygen). It can, therefore, only be a compound because it is one structure that is the result of different types of atoms bonding together.

There is about 1,000 times as much DNA in a human cell as in a bacterial cell, but only 5 times as many genes. What accounts for
chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

Phenotypic plasticity

Explanation:

Humans have evolved over thousands of years to adapt to various environmental changes. For example, when we are in an environment that requires certain level of adaptation our off spring often formalizes epigenetic traits that lows them to overcome small changes in the environment. Over time certain genes that are turned on may remain on and eventually the ones that are off remains off. This give rise to some genes that "don't work"  after millions of years of such evolution we end up with a complex genome with more DNA than "working genes".
