Answer:

If the water is initially hot, cooled water at the bottom is denser than the hot water at the top, so no convection will occur and the bottom part will start freezing while the top is still warm. This effect, combined with the evaporation effect, may make hot water freeze faster than cold water in some cases.

Answer:

As the quantity of liquid is bigger it will take longer to freeze because more energy will have to be used. There is a state of matter that water has which is called super cooling this is where the water is at a freezing tempture but ice crystals haven't be formed correctly. Different liquids freeze at different temperatures. Water will freeze faster than liquids with salt or sugar in them. Some liquids freeze faster than others because of viscosity, or thickness of the liquid. Thicker liquids will freeze more slowly and some will not freeze at all.

Species a diverged from species b 60,000 years ago. On a particular gene, they have 15 nucleotide differences. How many nucleoti

a_sh-v [17]

The given question says that b species diverged around 60,000 year ago from species a. Since the divergence, they have a nucleotide difference of 15 nucleotide.

We need to find out the nucleotide difference in another 240,000 year, which means a total of 300,000 year since divergence.

The nucleotide difference in 60,000 years = 15 nucleotide.

The nucleotide difference in 1 year = $\frac{15}{60,000}$ nucleotide.

The nucleotide difference in 300,000 years = $\frac{15}{60,000}\times 300,000$ nucleotide.

The nucleotide difference in 300,000 years = 75 nucleotide.

Hence, after another 240,000 years or 300,000 years since divergence, the species and species b would show a difference of 75 nucleotide.

In another 240,000 years, there would be 60 nucleotide difference, as 15 of the nucleotide are already different in initial 60,000 years from the total of 75 nucleotide difference in 300,000 years. So, 60 (75-15) nucleotide difference would be observed in next 240,000 years.

DNA has two strands. If the sequence of nucleotides of one strand was known, is it possible to use that information to determine

yanalaym [24]

It is possible to use the information of the nucleotide sequence of one strand to determine the sequence of the other strand.

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a biological molecule with two strands. Each strand is made up of a sequence of nucleotides. The DNA nucleotides are Adenine (A), Cytosine (C), Guanine (G) and Thymine (T).

In a DNA molecule, Adenine forms an hydrogen bond with Thymine i.e. A-T, while Guanine forms an hydrogen bond with Cytosine i.e. G-C.

Therefore, it is possible to use the information of the nucleotide sequence of one strand to determine the sequence of the other strand. For example, a strand with ATGCGTACGAT will form the following sequence: TACGCATGCTA
