Why does ice float on liquid water?

Biology
1 answer:
Vesnalui [34]3 years ago
8 0

As it cools further and freezes into ice, it actually becomes less dense. ... Ice floats because it is about 9% less dense than liquid water. In other words, ice takes up about 9% more space than water, so a liter of ice weighs less than liter water. The heavier water displaces the lighter ice, so ice floats to the top.

Which of the following are properties of all cells? 1. Evolution. 2. Growth. 3. Communication. 4. Diferentiation. 5. Compartment
kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

option B

Explanation:

The correct answer is option B

Cells are the basic structural and functional unit of life and possess genes. These genes evolve to carry out new biological functions in the body.  

Cells undergo division and growth whether it be unicellular organisms or multi cellular organisms.  

All cells possess the property of compartmentalization and metabolism henceforth taking up nutritive material from the environment.

These nutrients are further transformed into the cell compartments and the waste produced as a result is expelled out thus forming on open system.

A cross between two plants that both have yellow flowers produces 80 offspring plants, of which 38 have yellow flowers, 22 have
zvonat [6]

Always start with the genotypic ratios, because they'll be the same. Since hidden variation is popping out, you can assume that both of the parents are heterozygous. The problems you get will be the F2 ratio of the cross between two homozygous individuals.

1:2:1 is the genotypic ratio for one locus. AA:Aa:aa.

1:2:1 is the phenotypic ratio for incomplete dominance. Incomplete dominance means that the heterozygote expresses differently from either homozygote.

3:1 is the phenotypic ratio for complete dominance.

2:1 is the phenotypic ratio for lethal recessive.
