Answer:

High specific heat capacity.

Explanation:

The specific heat capacity of water is the quantity of  heat energy needed to raise 1 kg of water by one degree.

The high specific heat capacity of water is due to high hydrogen bonds which holds water molecules together, preventing their free movements.Therefore, large amount of energy is needed to raise water temperature. The hydrogen bonds also enabled  water to store energy.

This features of water makes, plasma resistant to fluctuations in body and environmental temperature, and allows biochemical reactions to occurs at relatively constant rate.

This is an example Mendel’s dihybrid cross.The law of independent assortment of independent assortment. When two individuals heterozygous for both traits (tail color and eyelash length) having genotype (PpLl) are crossed, four types of individuals are produced. The probability of phenotype combinations of offspring is the ratio 9:3:3:1.

Which of the following is a radical?<br> O <br> H20<br> OH<br> H
svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

<em>The correct option is C) OH</em>

Explanation:

In the field of chemistry, radicals can be described as atoms, molecules or ions which have at least one unpaired electron.

The formation of a radical occurs when a single covalent bond breaks so that each of the atoms that had been involved in the formation of the covalent bond can have an unpaired electron. Examples of radicals include OH, NH4+ etc.

Other option, like option B, is not true because a molecule of water does not have any unpaired electrons in its valence shell.
