Answer: Surface tension

Explanation:

Surface tension is the net downward force acting on the surface of liquids due to the cohesive nature of liquids.

Water molecules are bonded by strong hydrogen bonding between the hydrogen atom and the electronegative oxygen atom. Thus water molecules present on the surface are strongly attracted by the molecules present below the surface and thus act as a stretched membrane.  

The surface acquires a minimum surface are and thus acquire a spherical shape.

Heat capacity of water is high due to strong hydrogen bonding between water molecules.

Thus surface tension  of water results from the high cohesion between water molecules.

Answer:

Analogous structures

Explanation:

Analogous structures are similar structures that evolved independently in two living organisms to serve the same purpose.

Analogous structures are examples of convergent evolution, where two organisms separately have to solve the same evolutionary problem – such as staying hidden, flying, swimming, or conserving water – in similar ways. The result is similar body structures that developed independently.

In the case of analogous structures, the structures are not the same, and were not inherited from the same ancestor. But they look similar and serve a similar purpose.

For example, the wings of an insect, bird, and bat would all be analogous structures: they all evolved to allow flight, but they did not evolve at the same time, since insects, birds, and mammals all evolved the ability to fly at different times.

Mary had a baby last year. She is normally very healthy, but has been experiencing some embarrassing symptoms.

It is most likely because Mary’s body went through changes. And from 6 months to a year after pregnancy these “embarrassing symptoms can persist. There can be hormonal changes and cause the body to do abnormal things.

I hope this helps.

alukav5142 [94]
This phenomenon can be explained by Allen's rule. It says that the body proportions and shape may vary in different climates. The temperature decreases as the latitude increases, so in the northern region is much colder. Animals must preserve heat in such conditions. So, exposed surface areas of the body, such as the ears, feet, and tail, are usually minimized to minimize heat loss in the cold climate. <span>Therefore, northern species often have smaller ears, feet, and tail than the southern species. </span>
