Is this a multiple choice question?
The process of water moving through the soil is called percolation or ground water recharge. In this process water oozes, seeps, or filter through the soil beneath the surface, without a defined channels, or in a course that is unknown and not discoverable from surface indications without excavation for that purpose. Percolation and infiltration are two related but different processes describing the movement of water through the soil. Infiltration involves the downward entry of water into the soil or rock surface while percolation is the flow of water through soil and porous or fractured rock.<span />
In this question, the ant has 4 pairs of chromosomes. Each pair of chromosomes will be separated in a gamete, resulting 4 unpaired chromosomes. That is why gamete is called haploid or n.
That means only 1 of the 2 chromosomes that will be carried into a gamete, assuming the gene heterozygote then there would be 2 possibilities. Since each chromosome pairs can produce 2 possibilities for each male or female, their interaction will result as (2x2) 4 possibilities.
Then for 4 chromosomes would be 4^4 possibilities= 256 possibilities of offspring
Are u asking or answering the question?? I'm confused.
Answer: D.) It allows water to resist freezing and thawing cycles.
The ability of the water molecule to absorb and retain heat is called as heat capacity of water, because of this property the temperature of water remains the same for long, irrespective of the external environment. It allows water to resist freezing and thawing cycles because water molecules will resist change in it's temperature. This temperature regulation will prevent instant heating and cooling, hence, will provide suitable environment for the survival of marine organisms.
