Answer;
-The less dense, the more the ice will float, allowing animals to stay afloat and not in the water
Explanation;
-When water freezes, water molecules form a crystalline structure maintained by hydrogen bonding. Solid water, or ice, is less dense than liquid water. Ice is less dense than water because the orientation of hydrogen bonds causes molecules to push farther apart, which lowers the density.
-This means that ice floats on water and that lakes freeze from the top down to the bottom.This is vital for animals that live on ice, as their habitats would be greatly reduced or not exist at all if ice sank.
Answer:
The graph illustrating such a phenomenon will show a sharp curve in upward manners in the beginning but then will grow downwards as the predation increases.
Explanation:
When a rabbit population is introduced in a habitat, the new habitat will have abundant food for the rabbits. As a result, the population of the rabbits will grow at a much faster rate and hence the graph will move sharply upwards in the beginning. But with the passage of time, the predators of the rabbits will also increase due to the abundance of their preys. More predators will feed on more rabbits and hence a slow decline in the curve will be seen afterwards.
Answer:
The correct answer is - osmosis.
Explanation:
Paramecium lives in freshwater like the Potomac River which is hypotonic to the cytosol of the paramecium. Paramecium uses contractile vacuoles to transport the water from the lower concentration (outside of the cell) to a high concentration of solvent to the inside of the cells.
This process of cell transport is carried out by osmosis as their cytoplasm contains a higher concentration of solutes outside the cell. This excess water is collected into vacuoles called contractile vacuole that swells and finally internalized the water to the outside of the cell.
Thus, the correct answer is - osmosis.
Answer:
1/2
Explanation:
Let's assume that the allele "p" is responsible for PKU in the homozygous state. According to the given information, both the parents are unaffected by the disorder but have an affected child. This means that both the parents carry at least one copy of the recessive allele responsible for the disease. Therefore, the genotype of each of the parents is Pp. A cross between Pp and Pp would produce progeny in following ratio=
Pp x Pp = 1/4 PP: 1/2/ Pp: 1/4 pp
Therefore, the probability that their next child will carry just one recessive allele is 1/2.
