Answer: Light Refraction
Explanation:
Light rays travel in straight lines. When they strike an opaque surface, the rays bounce, and light is reflected back to your eye so that you see an image. When light strikes a transparent object, some of the light passes through. If that light strikes the object straight on, it continues to travel in a straight line. If the light enters the transparent object at an angle, though, it changes direction, bending.This bending of light is called refraction. Refraction occurs because light entering an object slows down. When it enters at an angle, one side of the light ray enters before the other, slowing down first.Looking from above, an object under water appears larger than it does in air. It's not that the image the light gave our eyes is bigger. It's that the image is actually closer to our eyes, since the light is not passing straight down, but is instead bending relative to the water's surface. Light passing straight down would be perpendicular to the water's surface, like the vertical line on the letter T.

Answer:
Gabriel's horn
Explanation:
What the question is asking for is a 3-dimensional shape that has a lot of surface area and only a little volume. The first thing I thought of was a geometric figure called Gabriel's Horn. A quick search on Wikipedia will explain better than I can, but basically it has infinite surface area but finite volume. You probably couldn't test the shape in any experiment, though, since it's only theoretical and can't exist in real life.
Let me know if I can explain anything in a clearer way!
Answer:
c. Methylated CpG islands is associated with long term gene repression.
Explanation:
The CpG sites or islands is a biological term that describes the genomic regions in which CpG sites occur; a region of DNA, in which cytosine nucleotide is followed by a guanine nucleotide in the linear sequence of bases along its 5' → 3' direction.
The CpG islands is characterized with a high frequency of CpG sites, with at least 200 bp, a GC percentage greater than 50%, and an observed-to-expected CpG ratio greater than 60%.
The existence of CpG islands is also associated with low levels of methylation in that genomic area, which has to do with the regulation or repression of gene expression
