Biology
1 answer:
zvonat [6]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

This question lacks options; the options are:

A) Less heat is needed to keep water at a high temperature

B) Water efficiently absorbs and retains heat.

C) Heat is quickly released from water.

D) Water maintains a constant temperature

The answer is B.) Water efficiently absorbs and retains heat

Explanation:

A substance's specific heat refers to the quantity of heat the substance needs to increase its temperature by 1°C. Hence, a substance is said to have a high specific heat if it takes more heat energy to make it hot while a substance is said to have a low specific heat if it takes less heat energy to make it hot.

According to the question, water is being referred to. Water has a high specific heat meaning that it is good absorber of heat and retain it due to its hydrogen bonding. This is why water will take a longer time and high heat to increase its temperature because it absorbs and retains the heat supplied to it.

Explain the relationship between crossing over and genetic variation
7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

When homologous chromosomes form pairs during prophase I of meiosis I, crossing-over can occur. Crossing-over is the exchange of genetic material between homologous chromosomes. It results in new combinations of genes on each chromosome. It is obviously another source of genetic variation in offspring.

Hope this helps you. Do mark me as brainliest.

Prescribe how mountains change in abiotic conditions with an increase in elevations
olga55 [171]
The first famous natural scientist to determine how plants change with altitude on tall mountains was Alexander Von Humboldt and Aime Bonpland when climbing some very high volcanoes in South America like Chimborazo at well ove 20,000 feet high and they observed that different plants grow at different altitudes as altitude increases so that as the mountain was ascended the new environments of temperature, moisture,etc would become abiotic for the lower plants but acceptable for the higher elevation plants. In these cases in South America, the lower elevations had very warm temperatures and high humidity so would grow tropical plants with probably large leaves like palm trees etc. On the other hand at high elevations the temperature would be significantly decreased and probably humidity decreased too so only rugged plants like say lichens could grow. At intermediate elevations, most likely say pine trees could grow as I know they do at moderate elevations in Honduras for example.
