Answer:

Water is polar in nature and forms hydrogen bond.

Explanation:

Water forms hydrogen bonds even when it is at its normal state. This is so because water is highly polar in nature.Being polar in nature means , the molecules or atoms with in any compound arrange themselves in a polarized state where one group of atoms or molecules becomes positively charged while other group of atoms or molecules becomes negatively charged.

Therefore, more heat is required to break these hydrogen bonds in water as compared to any other molecule of similar shape or size.

Water is a polar molecule bcz oxygen bears partial negative charhe and hydrogen bears partial positive charge. This results in extensive hydrogen bonding btween water molecules. The temperature is another way of saying the average kinetic energy of gases liquids or vibration for the case of solids. The Heat Capacity is the ability of matter to absorb thermal energy. Water's specific heat is defined as one. Water has high heat capacity because it can store heat in many ways. Which makes its capacity higher than anything

Given our understanding of genetics, we can confirm that the gene in question is of the homeotic type.

<h3>What is a gene? </h3>
  • In biology, we refer to a gene as the most basic unit of genetic information.
  • It is a segment of DNA that encodes for a certain trait that <u>may or may not be expressed.</u>
  • A gene carries the information for a specific trait, for example:

             1) Eye color

             2) Body organization

             3) Height

<h3 /><h3 /><h3>What does it mean for a gene to be homeotic?</h3>
  • In the case of this question, the gene in question is a homeotic gene.
  • Homeotic genes are those that are in charge of the organization of the organism's body.
  • These genes control the <u>general pattern of the body</u>, such as where the arms and legs will be, and so on.
<h3 /><h3 />

Therefore, given the definition of a homeotic gene, we can confirm that this is the type that best fits the description of the mutation in the question since it affected the formation and normal organization of the body.

How does one prevent such a fire from happening​
valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

water

Explanation:

Water puts out fire by creating a barrier between the fuel source and the oxygen source (it also has a cooling effect which has to do with the energy required to convert liquid water into water vapor). It does this because it is a completely, 100% oxidized material. It simply cannot oxidize any further so it will not “burn”. This smothers the fire. The same thing would happen if you used the ashes that remained after a completely spent fire. Or, as I mentioned before, CO2.
