Why did dna technology lead to more use of cladistics?a. it showed that the linnaean system was the most accurate.b. it changed
Alexandra [31]
The correct option from given options is "b", that is <span> it changed ideas about which animals were closely related.
</span>Cladistics<span> was </span>invented for the purpose of improving on taxonomy and it is a way to deal with biological classification. DNA technology lead to more use of cladistics because it changed ideas about which animals were closely related and also it showed new evolutionary relationships between animals.

What is a communicable disease chain? what steps can a nurse can take to break a link within the communicable disease chain?
Kaylis [27]
<span>A diseases may be classified as either communicable or non-communicable. Communicable diseases are caused by pathogens who inhabit a host, man (I'm not saying man is the only host or man is necessarily the final host; there could be many host) who in turn passes the disease to another. Pathogens are viral, bacterial, parasitic and fungal. There are several stages before the pathogen metamorphoses into a full-blown disease. The stages in which several events happen builds up before the pathogen affects the final host is called a communicable disease chain. There are six stages ( Pathogen, reservoir, portal of ext, mode of transmission, portal of entry and susceptible host) in the communicable disease chain but the step a nurse shouod take is 1. Destroy the second link (Reservoir) by thoroughly sanitizing the environment. Obviously, this is where the Pathogens live. If the reservoir is taken care of; there's no way they could infect the host.</span>

Explain the thermal properties of water
Zinaida [17]

Answer:

A glance of earth taken from space will depict it blue. This blue colour is actually water, the major part of the earth is covered with water. We need water for almost everything, for example- drinking, bathing, cooking etc and therefore we should know about the properties of water. 65 % human body is composed of water. Water is essential for the survival of life on earth. Water is distributed unevenly on the earth’s surface. It forms a major solvent and dissolves almost every polar solute. So let us have a look at its properties.

Physical properties of water : Water is a colourless and tasteless liquid. The molecules of water have extensive hydrogen bonds resulting in unusual properties in the condensed form. This also leads to high melting and boiling points. As compared to other liquids, water has a higher specific heat, thermal conductivity, surface tension, dipole moment etc. These properties form the reason for its significance in the biosphere. Water is an excellent solvent and therefore it helps in the transportation of ions and molecules required for metabolism. It has a high latent heat of vaporization which helps in the regulation of body temperature

Chemical properties of water: Amphoteric nature:

Water can act as both acid and base, which means that it is amphoteric in nature.

Example:

Acidic Behaviour: H2O(l)+NH3(aq) ⇌ H3O+(aq)+NH+4(aq)

Basic Behavior: H2O(l)+H2S(aq) ⇌ H3O+(aq)+HS−(aq)

Redox reactions:

Electropositive elements reduce water to hydrogen molecule. Thus water is a great source of hydrogen. Let us see an example in this case:

2H2O(l)+2Na(s)→2NaOH(aq)+H2(g)

During the process of photosynthesis, water is oxidized to O2. As water can be oxidized and reduced, it is very useful in redox reactions.

Hydrolysis reaction

Water has a very strong hydrating tendency due to its dielectric constant. It dissolves many ionic compounds. Some covalent and ionic compounds can be hydrolyzed in water.
