During the 1950s, a scientist named Lysenko tried to solve the food shortages in the Soviet Union by breeding wheat that could g

row in Siberia. He theorized that if individual wheat plants were exposed to cold, they would develop additional cold tolerance and pass it to their offspring. Based on the ideas of artificial and natural selection, do you think this project worked as planned?
A. Yes; the wheat probably evolved better cold tolerance over time through inheritance of acquired characteristics.
B. No, because Lysenko took his wheat seeds straight to Siberia instead of exposing them incrementally to cold.
C. No, because there was no process of selection based on inherited traits. Lysenko assumed thatexposure could induce a plant to develop additional cold tolerance and that this tolerance would be passed to the plant's offspring.
D. Yes, because this is generally the method used by plant breeders to develop new crops.

Solids will usually sink when placed in their own liquids. Which is an exception?
Marat540 [252]

WATER

Solids will usually sink when placed in their own liquids with the exception of water

Explanation:

Ice (the solid form of water) floats on water that is cooler than 4 degrees centigrade. This is unlike any other material and this phenomenon has been referred to as the ‘water anomaly’.

Most substances will sink in their own liquid because the solid form is denser than the amount of their own liquid that they displace when immersed. This is because the particles in the solid are closely packed together hence there are more particles per volume than in the liquid form.  

Water however, expands at temperatures below 4 degrees and hence ice is less dense than water at 4 degrees and below. The particles in ice are farther apart than particles of water at 4 degrees and below. There is, therefore, more particles per volume in the liquid form of water than in ice – making ice less dense.

Biomass is the most used renewable source of energy in US in the year of 2009.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

In US, the country is very cold and use of wood and other plant products as chimney fuels, or in cooking and other purposes are very common. This is because being a temperate country, US has forests of conifers which are source of soft wood, ideal for burning.

Other sources of Biomass energy comes from the biogas, wood wastes, ethanol, municipal solid wastes and even biodiesel.

As a present day scenario, although coal and petroleum are still the most used fuels in US, but the use of renewable sources of energy has increased to twice the amount from 2010 to 2018.
