Through this breeding, the farmer is able to support his claim that the large size of some of the sheep may be genetic. This is due to the fact that when the farmer bred the sheep, the offspring was far larger than the average sheep in the farmer's herd.
A genetic trait is one that is passed down from parent to offspring, while one acquired by the organism through its environment is not passed to its offspring.
The answer is B. a long oval I hope this helps
Hi!
The correct answer would be: It forms hydrogen bonds.
<h3>Explanation</h3>
Surface tension can be described as an elastic tendency of a liquid's surface to resist a change/force applied from the outside. This property is a result of cohesive forces between the particles of a liquid at the surface. Water molecules contain polar bonds ( <em>s+</em><em> </em>H -- O <em>s- </em>) due to the difference of electronegativity difference between the Oxygen and Hydrogen atom. This results in the formation of hydrogen bonds between water molecules <em>(refer to attached image for clarity).</em>
Hydrogen bonds are relatively strong bonds, and are the cohesive forces at the surface of water. When a lot of water molecules come together forming hydrogen bonds, a lattice is created in the form of a film which imparts high surface tension. Surface tension is why water molecules result in bubbles, drops and the phenomena of water's capillary action.
None of the other options contribute to the high surface tension property of water.
Hope this helps!
