Why does ice have the lowest density?

Biology
2 answers:
fgiga [73]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Ice actually has a very different structure than liquid water, in that the molecules align themselves in a regular lattice rather than more randomly as in the liquid form. It happens that the lattice arrangement allows water molecules to be more spread out than in a liquid, and, thus, ice is less dense than water.

6) If a mutation happens in a cancer-causing gene to change the subsequent protein's function,
Aneli [31]

Explanation:

B) False

Multiple mutations in several protooncogenes and tumor suppressor genes are required to form cancer

Cancer-causing genes, or oncogenes, develop from protooncogenes which regulate normal cell division. They may undergo mutations that alter gene expression, disrupt cell regulation and lead to the transformation of normal cells into tumor cells- their resulting proteins are abnormal or not formed. Tumor suppressor genes, which can halt unregulated cell growth and division, may also become mutated.

Each individual inherits 2 copies of a gene from their parents- a single mutation in one of these does not directly lead to cancer. Multiple activated oncogenes, in turn produce damaged, non functional proteins and together contribute to forming cancers.

Further Explanation:

During the process of cell division, spontaneous changes within the genome can arise. These mutations are errors occur when copies of the DNA within the cell are made; mutations may range from small changes called single nucleotide polymorphisms, to large scale deletions, and additions which span multiple genes. There are two types:

  • somatic: these only occur within certain cells, and arise from environmental factors such as UV light
  • hereditary: occur within germ cells of the parent and later the fertilized egg which forms a zygote; these are present within all cells of the new organism.

Sequences of DNA make up genes which can have different forms called alleles. DNA, which makes up the genotype, is transcribed into mRNA and later translated into amino acids which are linked together by rRNA to form proteins which make up the phenotype of an organism. Mutations in DNA sequences affect the corresponding mRNA and thus the protein encoded.

Choose the phrase that completes the passage. When Harrison is walking home from work, he is accosted by a group of teens. Harri
In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

This is an example of Harrison's central nervous system working closely with his autonomic nervous system to give him energy and awareness to escape.

Explanation:

Harrison interprets the presence of the group of teenagers as an imminent danger and so he is on the run, which corresponds to a set of reactions that are triggered in the human body when a danger is around. At this point, the central nervous system and the subtonic nervous system are working together to get the adrenaline in Harrison's body to rise to a level that allows him to escape the group of teenagers. The central nervous system was then responsible for receiving and processing information that indicates to Harrison that he may be in danger.  On the other hand, the autonomic nervous system is responsible for regulating the body's involuntary responses, being responsible for controlling various vital functions and at this time for the release of adrenaline in response to the dangerous situation.
