A
Water in the soil is held tightly by adhesive forces between the water molecules and the mineral content in soil particles - in the microspores.
Explanation:
While water passes through the macrospores of soil by gravity, water passes through the microspores mainly by cohesion between the water molecules and adhesion between the water molecules and soil minerals. The more surface area for the minerals in the soil (due to finer particle sizes) the higher the water retention rate of the soil. This is why soil with more humus (like silt and clay) retains water more than soils like sand.

Food chain. Think of a food chain as a series of links side by side, and a food web as a large spider web connecting at multiple points.
A gene mutation may result in an oncogene. So during that cell's replication the gate keeper genes will no longer be able to suppress it. This results in a mutated daughter cell. If there is a subsequent mutation an a daughter cell, a tumor will be produced.
Gene mutation can also cause mosaicism and result in different phenotypes
