Answer:

It rusts

Explanation:

Iron is a chemical element that has the ability to RUST when exposed to air and water. Rusting is actually a prolonged chemical process or change that results when iron reactively combines with water and oxygen in the atmosphere to from hydrated (III) oxide in a process called OXIDATION. This compound is behind the color change of the metal.

According to this question, a nail made of iron will change after being exposed to the oxygen in the air over a long time by RUSTING via the oxidative reaction of the iron constituent of that nail with oxygen.

How does homeostasis work in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?
Roman55 [17]

The process of passing genetic material from one generation to the next depends completely on how cells grow and divide. To reproduce, a simple organism such as bacteria or yeast simply copies its DNA (through a process called replication) and splits in two. But organisms that reproduce sexually go through a complicated dance that includes mixing and matching strands of DNA (a process called recombination) and then reducing the amount of DNA in special sex cells to arrive at completely new genetic combinations for their offspring.

There are two basic kinds of organisms — ones with a nucleus and those without a nucleus (a compartment filled with DNA surrounded by a membrane called a nuclear envelope):

<span>Prokaryotes: Organisms whose cells lack a nucleus and therefore have DNA floating loosely in the liquid center of the cell. Prokaryotes divide, and thus reproduce, by simple mitosis.</span><span>Eukaryotes: Organisms that have a well-defined nucleus to house and protect the DNA. Eukaryotes divide by meiosis for sexual reproduction.</span>
