Which is the definition of adhesion?

1 answer:

4 0

A is incorrect. This sticking together of like substances is called cohesion. Depending on how attracted molecules of the same substance are to one another, the substance will be more or less cohesive. Hydrogen bonds cause water to be exceptionally attracted to each other. Therefore, water is very cohesive.

B is correct. The property in which water molecules stick to one another tightly. The property in which water molecules easily evaporate into a gas.

C is incorrect. In cohesion, water molecules are attracted to each other (because of hydrogen bonding), keeping the molecules together at the liquid-air (gas) interface, although there is no more room in the glass.

A commensal bacterium?

Otrada [13]

Answer

Commensal bacteria stimulate the immune system of the host to enhance defense mechanisms that block pathogen entrance and colonization. Moreover, by creating antimicrobial properties and signals & fighting with other bacteria for food and attachment sites, such bacteria might effectively limit the spread of respiratory infections. In healthy animals, the majority of commensal bacteria live inside the intestine's lumen, although some are also found in immediate contact with the intestinal epithelium. New studies have shown that commensal bacteria may live in stable stomach lymphoid tissues. But every once in a while, especially when they travel to other areas and leave their natural habitat, these commensal bacteria might cause illness. In both old and very and also in young persons, it can spread throughout the rest of the body, causing pneumonia, infection, and meningitis.

Are ladybugs herbivores carnivores or omnivores

kobusy [5.1K]

Lady bugs are carnivores. If you want to get more technical they are insectivores. This is because they only eat soft bodied insects/arachnids like aphids, mites, and scale insects.

Which statement explains why the recombination frequency between two genes is always less than 50%?A) recombination cannot be mo

Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

Option (D).

Explanation:

Recombination frequency nay be defined as the the frequency of crossover of a single chromosome during meiosis. The maxiumum recombination frequency is 50%.

Genes that has recombination frequency nearly equal to 50% are considered as unlinked genes. Unlinked genes cannot undergo the recombination process and may have equal chances to inherit together or can inherit separately in the next generation.

Thus, the correct answer is option (D).
