Answer:

the molecules are farther apart in ice than in liquid water.

Explanation:

The correct answer would be that<u> the molecules of water are farther apart in ice than in liquid water.</u>

<em>Water molecules in ice form are usually less dense than water molecules in liquid form. The water molecules in ice usually arrange themselves in a lattice form, unlike the random form in liquid water. This arrangement makes water molecules in ice to be more evenly spread out than in their liquid counterpart. Thus, ice is usually less dense than liquid water and will obey the principle of flotation by floating on water. </em>

An example of a population in which evolution could
Snezhnost [94]

An example of a population in which evolution could  take place in a relatively short period of time could be pathogenic bacteria exposed to antibiotics.

Answer: Option A

<u>Explanation:</u>

Evolution if takes place within a short period of time say the next generation that is called as micro evolution. This is caused when a specific organism exposed in a different environment at once modifies its genes to suit the new environment.  This phenomenon can be very well seen in the pathogenic bacteria which are exposed to antibiotics.

When an antibiotic is prescribed to bacteria initially it nullifies its effect by destroying it. When continuously exposed to a certain antibiotic some bacteria dies but there are few which becomes resistant to it and survives. This on the other hand multiplies producing a generation that can’t be touched by the antibiotic.

What is the spreading of tumor cells to distant parts of the body via blood and lymph referred to as? A) Mitosis. B) Metastasis.
Alisiya [41]
<span>The correct answer is 'metastasis'. This is the migration of cancer cells from one place to another in the body. They do this by travelling through the blood stream or the lymphatic system. Mitosis is the process of asexual cell division. It produces cells that are identical to the original cell as one cell divides into two after replicating its organelles and genetic information. (Mitosis makes my toes.) Apoptosis is controlled cell death. When cells are getting old then they need to be replaced. Old cells are programmed to 'die' at the correct time. The cell contents are recycled to make new cells.</span>
