<em>Hardness is a measure of how resistant solid matter is to various kinds of permanent shape change when a force is applied</em> <em>Macroscopic hardness is generally characterized by</em> <em>strong intermolecular bonds</em>, <em>but the behavior of solid materials under force is complex; therefore,</em> <em>there are different measurements of hardness</em>: <em>scratch hardness, indentation hardness, and rebound hardness. Hardness is dependent on ductility, elastic stiffness, plasticity, strain, strength, toughness, viscoelasticity, and viscosity. Common examples of hard matter are ceramics, concrete, certain metals, and super hard materials, which can be contrasted with soft matter.</em>
Answer: B. Nuclear transfer!
Explanation:
Nuclear transfer is the process that DNA goes through to get cloned/copied. The cells that make new forms of DNA create a perfect replica.
Hope this answer helps!
Answer:
The results are not able to be reproduced.
Explanation:
Generally, if an experiment is done and the results/similar results can not be reproduced then it can be considered invalid.
The survival of the 2 percent of the population is due to the presence of a gene obtained from other species. This gene must be responsible for developing resistance in the insects, against the insecticide that was used by the farmer. The gene got incorporated in only 2% of the insects and therefore, they survived and rest of them were susceptible to the insecticide and thus, died.
