Answer;

It becomes heavier.

- when a part rusts it becomes heavier due to addition of oxygen molecules.

Explanation;

-Rust is iron-oxide (hydrated iron (iii) oxide); a molecule consisting of iron and oxygen.

- When rust forms, the mass of the iron object is increased by the mass of oxygen that has combined with some of the iron and thus gains weight.

The answer to the question "When a part rusts is becomes heavier or lighter?" is the rust actually has a tendency to flake off. But as long as the rust is still on the nail, the nail will be heavier. The reason is that you are actually adding an oxygen and hydrogen to the nail.

Natural selection in the cichlids fish species of Lake Victoria occurred via
Ksju [112]

Where's the evolution?

The physics of light affects not just how blue water looks to us, but how the animals living in the world's oceans, lakes, and rivers are able to find food and each other — and this, in turn, can impact their evolution. Natural selection favors traits that perform well in local environmental conditions. Many fish species, for example, have evolved vision that is specifically tuned to see well in the sort of light available where they live. But even beyond simple adaptation, the physics of light can lead to speciation. In fact, biologists recently demonstrated that the light penetrating to different depths of Africa's Lake Victoria seems to have played a role in promoting a massive evolutionary radiation. More than 500 species of often brightly colored cichlid fish have evolved there in just a few hundred thousand years!

g Explain the meaning of ploidy (haploid, diploid, aneuploid etc.) and how it relates to the number of homologues of each chromo
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

The correct answer is - Ploidy is the number of sets of chromosomes in a biological cell.

Explanation:

Ploidy is the number of sets of the chromosome in a living cell. Ploidy is known for different condition such as haploid, diploid, and aneuploid, and many more depends how many homologues chromosome numbers are present in the cell.

Diploid cells are common in many organisms where one chromosome come from the mother gamete and the other from the father gamete and makes the homologues chromosomes. In diploid homologues, chromosome are 2n where n is the number of homologues of each chromosome.

In haploid there is only one set of each chromosome and mainly takes place by meiosis. In aneuploidy is the condition where the number of homologues chromosomes are not as the normal genome of the organism for example in humans instead of 46 chromosomes there 45 or 47 chromosome found.
