Why does ice become less dense than water?

1 answer:

8 0

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.

serg [7]

Answer:

Phenotypes: All Brown Hair Color and All Short Hair Length

Genotypes:

Homozygous dominant hair color and homozygous dominant hair length: (BBSS, BBSS, BBSS, BBSS).

Homozygous dominant hair color and heterozygous hair length: (BBSs, BBSs, BBSs, BBSs)

Heterozygous hair color and homozygous dominant hair length: (BbSS, BbSS, BbSS, BbSS)

Heterozygous hair colour and heterozygous hair length: (BbSs, BbSs, BbSs, BbSs)

Explanation:

Hair color :

B = dominant brown

b = recessive white

Hair length :

S = dominant short

s = recessive long

The dihybrid cross between parents with the genotypes:

BBSS × BbSs

If BBSS self crossed; we have the following traits= BS, BS, BS, BS

If BbSs self crossed; we have the following traits= BS, Bs, bS, bs

The dihybrid cross is as follows:

BS BS BS BS

BS BBSS BBSS BBSS BBSS

Bs BBSs BBSs BBSs BBSs

bS BbSS BbSS BbSS BbSS

bs BbSs BbSs BbSs BbSs

Phenotypes = All Brown Hair Color and All Short Hair Length

Genotypes include:

Homozygous dominant hair color and homozygous dominant hair length: (BBSS, BBSS, BBSS, BBSS).

Homozygous dominant hair color and heterozygous hair length: (BBSs, BBSs, BBSs, BBSs)

Heterozygous hair color and homozygous dominant hair length: (BbSS, BbSS, BbSS, BbSS)

Heterozygous hair colour and heterozygous hair length: (BbSs, BbSs, BbSs, BbSs)
