Lessen impacts of flooding by absorbing water and reducing the speed at which flood waters flow. Upstream wetlands can serve to store flood waters temporarily and <span>release them slowly downstream.</span>
Greater then the water density, which has a density of 1 g/cm^3
Answer:
The daughter cells are genetically identical because mitosis is a process that ensures the equal distribution of the replicated genetic material between these cells
Explanation:
During mitosis, the DNA is duplicated during the interphase (S-phase). Subsequently, the replicated chromosomes are arranged in the center of the parent cell (metaphase) to be finally separated and equally distributed between the daughter cells.
Discontinuous variation <span> refer to large, conspicuous differences from the parents</span>
This is where individuals fall into a number of distinct categories, and is based on features that cannot be measured across a complete range
continious variation refer to small, indistinct differences from the normal condition.
Milk yield in cows, for example, is determined not only by their genetic make-up but is also significantly affected by environmental factors such as pasture quality and diet, weather, and the comfort of their surroundings
The specific heat capacity represents the amount of energy, in joules, that it takes to raise the temperature of one gram of a given substance by one degree Celsius. Put more simply, the amount of energy it takes to raise a quantity of water by one degree Celsius would raise an equivalent quantity of sand by a little over 14 degrees. Likewise, sand does not need to lose nearly as much energy as water to produce equivalent cooling. Since it "holds" a lot less energy, it cools down much faster than sand.
Indeed, liquid water has an unusually high specific heat capacity. Because it is much less prone to temperature swings than other common substances, large bodies of water often work to moderate temperatures in a region. This helps to explain, for example, why average temperatures fluctuate very little over the year in San Francisco, a city whose climate is heavily influenced by the water that nearly surrounds it.
