Answer;

Water has polar bonds and is a polar molecule.

Explanation;

-Water is important in life of living organisms. The major important properties of water include; Its attraction to polar molecules ,high-specific heat, high heat of vaporization, the lower density of ice and High polarity.

-Water's attraction to other water molecules, is one of the major properties of water. Water's polarity lends it to be attracted to other water molecules. The hydrogen bonds in water hold other water molecules together.

-Water's attraction between molecules of a different substance is called adhesion. Water is adhesive to any molecule it can form hydrogen bonds with.

Which of the following are benefits of genetic diversity? Select all that apply.
DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

<u><em>The benefits of genetic diversity include:</em></u>

  • 2- species survive despite negative mutations
  • 4- species adapt to ever-changing environments
  • 5-gene pool is strengthened

Explanation:

Mutations resulting from errors within gene replication frequently accumulate within species, becoming more stable over time. They lead to other forms of the same genes called alleles.

Several alleles within a population's gene pools leads to higher diversity. These may become beneficial,  as the environment of the organism changes.  

Mutations that confer benefits tend to help organisms survive and produce offspring, passing on these genes. However, some mutations may be deleterious/harmful and fatal. High diversity reduces the deleterious effects of some mutations on a population for a stronger gene pool i.e. the species survives.

Which describes the temperature for successful sperm production? slightly higher than body temperature slightly lower than body
gladu [14]

Answer:

The correct answer is -  slightly lower than the body.

Explanation:

Spermatogenesis is the process of the generation of sperm. It is the process that requires a slightly low temperature than normal body temperature to produce sperms in viable conditions.

This is the prime reason for the location of the scrotum which is outside the body which allows to testes maintain lower body temperature lower than the rest of the body. There is a 1-8 degrees C difference in the rest of the body and testes.
