<span>1.       </span><span>Water’s solid form is less dense than its liquid form, while the opposite is true of most other substances.
For example, the Ice.
Notice that the ice is a solid form of the water but when you put the ice in the water, it floats. That makes it denser than the water itself. This happens because the hydrogen bonds cause the molecules to push farther apart with each other which result to lower density of the solid form of water.

The relative densities of the water as solid and liquid differ from the subsequent densities of the other substances. The density of the solid form of water is less than the density of water in its liquid form. However, majority of other substances increases in density when they solidify. This is the reason that the ice (which is the solid form of water) floats on water (liquid form).

Hence, the correct answer is 'Water's solid form is less dense than solid form while the case in opposite in other substances'.

Answer:

Option (B) is the correct answer of the following question.

Explanation:

Collagens are a family of enzymes that perpetuate and protect many of the body's tissues, with the exception of connective tissue, femur, fibula, pigmentation, and the caucasian eye (optic disc). It would be the best choice on which to base the phylogeny.

  • The first and most concentrated substance in the body is the collagen genes.
  • It is a large, indigestible cellular muscle which maintains organisms and gives internal cells a texture.
  • Collagen is also an essential part of the crisscrossing membrane neurons.

Other options are incorrect because they are not related to the given scenario.

Explain (1) what type of variation is always required for natural selection and (2) where this variation comes from?
larisa86 [58]

When we talk about evolution we come across the process of natural selection. Genetic variation is always required for the natural selection. A change or variation in the genes may help the individuals in a population to better adapt to the environment. Such changes may be brought by mutations or random mating in the population. Such variations help in the survival of the population by allowing them to adapt to changing environmental conditions.

icang [17]

No, the sickle-cell anemia allele won't be eliminated by natural selection.

Sickle-cell anemia trait is controlled by a single gene and the allele (S) for sickle-cell anemia is a harmful autosomal recessive.

It is caused by a mutation in the normal allele (A) for hemoglobin (a protein on red blood cells).

Heterozygotes (AS) with the sickle-cell allele are resistant to malaria, a deadly tropical disease. It is common in many African populations.

In these areas, (S) carriers have been naturally selected, because their red blood cells, containing some abnormal hemoglobin, tend to be in sickle shape when they are infected by the malarial parasite.

Therefore, they are more likely to survive and reproduce. This keeps the S allele in the gene pool.
