You visit Antarctica on a cold, breezy morning as part of an exploration mission to save the Polar bears. Your team sees a polar

bear cub struggling to get out from a hole in the ice. As your team approaches to help the cub, you notice there is water beneath the ice. What is the best explanation for why water did not freeze the ocean beneath the top layer of ice?
⦁ Cool Water expands while warm water contracts. The combination of both makes ice float.
⦁ When liquid water is cooled, it contracts like all liquids do. The cohesion and adhesion interaction allow for water to exist underneath the ice.
⦁ When liquid water is cooled, it contracts like all liquids do. After that, water continues to contract indefinitely. This interaction allows for water to exist underneath the ice.
⦁ When liquid water is cooled, it contracts like one would expect until a temperature of approximately 4 degrees Celsius is reached. After that, water expands slightly making it less dense than water.

Answer:

When liquid water is cooled it contracts like all liquids do. The cohesion and adhesion interaction allow for water to exist underneath the ice.

During gamete formation, each allele of a pair for a gene moves to separate gametes. Which principle is indicative of this state
TiliK225 [7]
Think about the actual physical process happening in the cell - the allele (or versions of a gene) are literally physical pieces of DNA strung together into chromosomes. And as the cell divides to form gametes, those chromosomes randomly assort themselves into the two new cells (conditional that each new cell gets one copy of each chromosome, in the case of gametes)...<span>

Can a species switch from being an r-species to a K-species or visa versa?
patriot [66]

Answer:

as causas de las extinción de una especie pueden ser muchas, como la destrucción de su hábitat natural, la caza o captura de animales exóticos, la contaminación, la deforestación (la desaparición de los bosques por la tala de árboles) o el cambio climático, que son consecuencia de la intervención de los seres humanos. Aunque esto también puede relacionarse con distintos fenómenos naturales como inundaciones, incendios, o la llegada de enfermedades.

Explanation:

En algunas ocasiones y por diferentes motivos, las especies de animales empiezan a desaparecer, y esto se conoce como extinción. A pesar de que escuchamos esta palabra muy a menudo, alguna vez te has preguntado, ¿por qué una especie se extingue y qué pasa cuando esto sucede?

Which statement describes the light reaction of photosynthesis?
konstantin123 [22]

Answer:Water molecules are split apart.

Explanation: In the light dependent reactions of photosynthesis, sunlight provides the energy for splitting of water into its components: hydrogen and oxygen. This reaction is known as the photolysis of water. The oxygen is evolved as a byproduct. In this light dependent reactions, the light energy absorbed is used for the splitting of water molecules and it is also conserved as ATP and NADPH which are used to drive the carbon fixation reactions of photosynthesis.
