C. <span>When water in a lake freezes, it floats, providing insulation for organisms below.
This </span> best describes an effect of the low density of frozen water in a lake.
Chondromalacia is the synonymous of the cartilage softening (chondro = cartilage, malacia = soft). It's a pathology of softening affecting the joints and more particularly those of the knee (kneecap and femur).
This anomaly can be observed in several circumstances:
• the first is that of direct trauma. It is the cartilaginous lesion occurring before the fracture (fissure) of the cartilage.
• the second is that of common osteoarthritis. It is highly likely that the first stage of osteoarthritis begins with edema (swelling of the cartilage or closed chondropathy) that makes the cartilage less resistant and more vulnerable; this soft cartilage can then crack on its surface (open chondropathy) and these cracks will be more difficult to heal.
A. objects made of crystals minerals water and air
Process of elimination-
there isn’t organic matter in rocks so D is out
they are made of minerals so B is out
some types of rock (pumice) have air bubbles in them so A is more likely than C
The definition of Epistasis in gene biology is Choice D: when the allele of one gene masks the phenotype of another gene
Definition:
When the phenotypic effect of alleles at one gene are masked by alleles of another gene.
In essence, a gene is said to be epistatic when its presence suppresses the effect of a gene at another locus.
It is important to know that Epistatic genes are often called inhibiting genes because of their effect on other genes which are described as hypostatic.
Additionally, there are six common types of epistasis gene interactions:
- Polymeric gene interaction,

Answer:
Compare mitochondria to the digestive system. The cytoskeleton is similar to the skeletal and muscular system. They both provide structure and allows for movement within the cell. The cell membrane is similar to the integumentary system. They both separate and protects the internal structures from the external environment and it regulates water loss.
