A

Water in the soil is held tightly by adhesive forces between the water molecules and the mineral content in soil particles - in the microspores.

Explanation:

While water passes through the macrospores of soil by gravity, water passes through the microspores mainly by cohesion between the water molecules and adhesion between the water molecules and soil minerals. The more surface area for the minerals in the soil (due to finer particle sizes) the higher the water retention rate of the soil. This is why soil with more humus (like silt and clay) retains water more than soils like sand.

Answer:

The example for population density is "two jaguars per thousand hectares"

Explanation:

To known the population size per unit area we use population density. Or sometimes use it for volume. It is expressed in quantity or in the type.  Mostly used for the living organisms, specifically humans. It's unit is expressed in square kilometers or may say in square mile. It is used for country, city, town and another territory. The negative relationship is found to affect the population density. It depends on the reproduction and survival.

The law of_____
Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

The correct answer is - segregation.

Explanation:

The law of segregation states that out of two factors or alleles of a gene located in an organism, only one allele or factor is distributed to each sperm cell or egg cell (gamete) randomly, So, the segregation of the alleles are random and only one allele is distributed to each gamete according to this law.

The law of segregation helps in making a different combination of alleles in a particular species or population and leads to variation in genetics. It makes sure that traits distribute to each generation randomly.
