Biology
1 answer:
slega [8]3 years ago
4 0

The statement that it causes light to slow down significantly best describes the high index of refraction.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Index of refraction is the amount a medium will be refracting the incident light. As it is a measure of amount of light getting refracted, the medium decides the index of refraction of that type.

If the index of refraction of any medium is high, then it will refract most of the incident light and so the light' speed travelling through the medium will get slower.

So increase in refractive index decrease the light' speed. Thus, if the light' speed decreases or slows down significantly then the substance has high index of refraction.

Why are genetic variation and selective breeding are advantages of sexual reproduction?
soldier1979 [14.2K]
The evolution of sexual reproduction is a great puzzle in modern evolutionary biology. Many groups of eukaryotic organisms, especially most animals and plants, reproduce sexually. The evolution of sex between two organisms of the same species contains two related but different themes: its origin and its maintenance. However, since hypotheses for the origin of sex are difficult to test experimentally, most of the current work has focused on the maintenance of sexual reproduction. Biologists, including W. D. Hamilton, Alexei Kondrashov, and George C. Williams, have proposed various explanations for how sexual reproduction is maintained in a large set of different living things.

sergey [27]
A.  they have a higher proportion of adenine–thymine than guanine–cytosine base pairs.

The option A represents the complete opposite of "high-gc gram-positive bacteria". High GC content means that this bacteria have more guanine ans more cytosine than the other base pairs- adenine–thymine. This means all the other options are correct.
