Answer:

<em><u>The water in lakes comes from rain, snow, melting ice, streams, and groundwater seepage. If water leaves a lake by a river or other outlet, it is said to be open. All freshwater lakes are open. If water only leaves a lake by evaporation, the lake is closed.</u></em>

A lake is an area filled with water, localized in a basin, surrounded by land, apart from any river or other outlet that serves to feed or drain the lake. Lakes lie on land and are not part of the ocean, although like the much larger oceans, they form part of Earth's water cycle.

Assume that an organism exists in which crossing over does not occur, but that all other processes associated with meiosis occur
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

Option (e).

Explanation:

Meiosis may be defined as the process of cell division in which a single parent cell divides into four daughter cells. The chromosome number reduces to half in meiosis.

Crossing over is the process of exchange of genetic material between the homologous chromosomes of the non-sister chromatids. Crossing over will bring variation in the gametes. Hence, the absence of crossing over results in the formation of gametes with less genetic variation.

Thus, the correct answer is option (e).

Which prossess is defined as breaking down rocks into smaller pieces without changing the rocks' compositions
soldier1979 [14.2K]

mechanical weathering

Mechanical weathering is the process of breaking big rocks into little ones. This process usually happens near the surface of the planet. Temperature also affects the land. The cool nights and hot days always cause things to expand and contract. That movement can cause rocks to crack and break apart.Mechanical weathering involves mechanical processes that break up a rock: for example, ice freezing and expanding in cracks in the rock.

A change in a sequence of DNA bases in a bacterial cell has resulted in a mutation. This mutation has increased the ability of t
Svetllana [295]

Answer:

The relative frequency of the mutation will increase as time passes.

Explanation:

This random mutation has, by chance, caused a phenotype that is beneficial to the bacteria. This mutation improves the fitness of the bacteria, as they are able to utilize more food sources. This reduces the chance of starvation and death of the cell. Therefore, cells with this mutation are more likely to survive, and for longer.

In times where nutrients are scarce, bacteria without the population will die off. But the bacteria with this mutation will be more likely to survive and pass on their genetic material. Therefore, over time, the frequency of this mutation will increase.
