Pure water has a pH level of 7, which means it is neutral on the pH scale. If you want to increase the pH of water, you must add an alkaline substance to it. The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14, with anything above 7 being alkaline, and anything below 7 being acidic.
The correct sentences are the following:
A) Antibiotic resistance in bacterial populations is caused by natural selection of bacteria that inherit mutations that make them resistant to the antibiotics.
C) Crossing-over causes a shuffling of allele combinations during meiosis as the alleles from each parent form new combinations on homologous chromosomes.
E) When two bacteria are linked during conjugation, the donor cell passes DNA to the recipient cell which causes genetic recombination.
Explanation:
These three options are associated with the generation and preservation of genetic diversity
It would lower the pH, raise the acidity of the water, and it would kill off a lot of marine life if it got too high. As species begin to die their predators follow, and this could cause mass extinction.
