s have lost their hind limbs. How can natural selection account for these losses?
Natural selection cannot account for losses, but accounts only for new structures and functions.


Under particular circumstances that persisted for long periods, each of these structures presented greater costs than benefits.


Natural selection accounts for these losses by the principle of use and disuse.

Answer:

the molecules are farther apart in ice than in liquid water.

Explanation:

The correct answer would be that<u> the molecules of water are farther apart in ice than in liquid water.</u>

<em>Water molecules in ice form are usually less dense than water molecules in liquid form. The water molecules in ice usually arrange themselves in a lattice form, unlike the random form in liquid water. This arrangement makes water molecules in ice to be more evenly spread out than in their liquid counterpart. Thus, ice is usually less dense than liquid water and will obey the principle of flotation by floating on water. </em>
