Answer:

Anomalous expansion

Explanation:

Anomalous expansion of water is the abnormal way water expands when exposed to low temperature.

At 4 degree Celsius , the density at the top layer is usually at the Maximum which makes the water sinks down and then the water in the lower layer rises up.

When the temperature drops below 4 degree Celsius, the water molecules at the top then freezes leaving the denser molecules at the bottom which doesn’t freeze as a result of their high density.

This way, organisms can survive in the water due to the lower layer not freezing.

Gene editing.

Gene editing, is based  on a the CRISPR-Cas9 technology. It allows researchers to customize a living organism’s genetic sequence by making very specific changes to its DNA. Gene editing has a wide array of applications, being used for the genetic modification of crop plants and animals.

A species that has a normal resting systolic blood pressure of >260 mm hg. what is a reasonable conclusion based on this info
Kipish [7]

The answer is B. This the systolic pressure of a giraffe in comparison to that of a human that is 100 mm Hg. This high blood pressure ensures that the giraffe maintains 100 mmHg in the brain. Since a high BP impairs gas exchange and increases transpulmonary filtration, the pulmonary circulation must be separated. Therefore, in the giraffe, there is a relatively great difference between the right ventricular and left ventricular maximal rates of pressure ascent, the left ventricular rate of ascent being 5 times that calculated for the right ventricle.
