Answer:

Water is a covalent compound.

Explanation:

covalent compounds are individual molecules characterized by the sharing of electrons between two or more atoms. Two atoms with similar electronegativity will not exchange an electron from their outermost shell; the atoms instead share electrons so that their valence electron shell is filled.

Example:

Examples of compounds that contain only covalent bonds are methane (CH4), carbon monoxide (CO), Water (H2O) and iodine monobromide (IBr).

Properties:

1. At room temperature and normal atmospheric pressure, covalent compounds may exist as a solid, a liquid, or a gas.

2. Covalent compounds do not exhibit any electrical conductivity, either in pure form or when dissolved in water.

3. Covalent compounds have lower melting and boiling points.

Answer:

Water

Explanation:

A covalent compound is a compound formed by two or more elements that share covalent bonds, they are often formed when two non-metals react together and form a compound, for example Hydrogen and Oxygen creating water, and they are called covalent compounds because the bond that forms the compounds is created because of the share of the electrons by the nuclei.

Ivenika [448]
Streams that flow beneath melting glaciers leave long ridges of layered sediments, known as Esker. Eskers are formed within ice-walled tunnels by streams which flowed within and under glaciers. They tended to form around the time of the glacial maximum when the glacier was slow and sluggish and after the retaining ice walls melted away, stream deposits remained as long winding ridges.

Suppose "A" is a dominant gene for the ability to taste phenylthiocarbamide and "a" is a recessive gene for the inability to tas
dexar [7]

Complete question:

Suppose "A" is a dominant gene for the ability to taste phenylthiocarbamide and "a" is a recessive gene for the inability to taste it. Which couples could possibly have both a child who tastes it and a child who does not?​

a. father AA, mother aa

b. father Aa, mother AA

c. father Aa, mother Aa

d. father AA, mother AA

Answer:

c. father Aa, mother Aa

Explanation:

According to the given information, the ability to taste phenylthiocarbamide is a dominant trait and is imparted by the allele "A". This phenotype would be expressed in both homozygous and heterozygous conditions. The non-taster phenotype would be expressed in the homozygous recessive genotypes only.  

To have both taster and non-taster children, both the parents should have at least one copy of the recessive allele. Among the given options, the father with genotype Aa and the mother with genotype Aa have the possibility to have both taster and non-taster children.

Aa x Aa= 3/4 taster (1/4 AA and 1/2 Aa): 1/4 non-taster (1/4 aa)
