Answer:

C) polarity

Explanation:

The polar nature of water molecules allows it to dissolve like molecules, such molecules are also polar.

  • In water molecules hydrogen bonds provides a special dipole - dipole attraction.
  • Here, the hydrogen atom is directly joined to a highly electronegative atom(oxygen, nitrogen or fluorine).
  • This leads to a charge separation in which the hydrogen atom has net positive charge and the electronegative one has negative charge.
  • This makes the molecule of water polar.
  • By this property water easily attracts oppositely charged portions of another substance and then pull them into solution.

This property of water is polarity of water.

Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

This conversion of one form of energy to another is called energy transformation.

Explanation:

Eye is one of the most important sensory organ of our body that helps in the perception of light.

   When we see a light at that time light energy is converted into neural messages and then carried to the brain by ophthalmic nerve for processing.

  Here the law of conservation of energy is maintained which states that energy cannot be created nor destroyed, energy can only be transformed.

If natural selection has no foresight, how can it explain features that seem to prepare organisms for future events? for example
Nezavi [6.7K]

The genes in a population give forth the genetic variability across a population (genotypes). In addition, occasional mutations of these genes in a population increase this genetic variability. Hovever, natural selection only favours reproduction of individuals with genes that are favourable in the environment/habitat. Therefore, natural selection has no foresight but is rather pegged on being an ‘opportunistic’ process.

Suppose that Gene B occurs in a sea turtle gene pool where the frequency of the B1 allele is 0.5 and the frequency of the B2 all
disa [49]

Answer:

Frequency of the B3 allele = 0.1

Explanation:

The allele frequencies in a given population remain constant which means that every generation will have the same gene pool across the generations. As per Hardy Weinberg’s first equilibrium equation, the sum of frequency of all the alleles at a given locus is equal to one  

Thus, if "p" represents the frequency of B1 allele and "q" represents the frequency of B2 allele and "r" represents the allele for B3 allele. Then, sum or "p", "q" and "r" is equal to one.

p+q+r = 1\\

Substituting the given values, we get -

0.5 + 0.4 + r = 1\\0.9 + r = 1\\r = 1-0.9\\r = 0.1

xenn [34]

Answer:

1.) neurilemma (option f)

2.) nissil bodies (chromatiophillic substance)

3.) neurofibrilis ( option g)

4.) myelin ( option e)

5.) dendrite ( option d)

6.) collateral ( option c)

7.) astrocytes (option a)

8.) axon ( option b)

9.) Unipolar neuron (option i)

Explanation:

The neurological terms described above are different parts of a nerve cell or neurones. The nerve cells are the basic Structural units of the nervous system. They are highly specialised for transmitting electric impulses. They can also be grouped according to the number of processes they possess, for example, the UNIPOLAR NEURONS( those with one process only). Each neuron, however, is composed of the same basic parts which include:

--> The CELL BODY: they may be angular or oval in shape with a large nucleus and dense granulated cytoplasm. In the cytoplasm, rough Endoplasmic reticulum which contains CHROMATIOPHILLIC SUBSTANCE (nissil bodies) and Golgi apparatus are also seen.Network of threadlike structures known as neurofibrilis are also seen within the cell body and extending into axon.

--> DENDRONS: these are one or more extensions which branches to form many fine dendrites. The DENDRONS carry nerve impulses( action potential) that their dendrites receive to the cell body.

--> AXON: this is a long process which branches at it's free end to end in synaptic knobs. It carries electric impulses away from the cell body. Most times, a substance of Schwann cell known as MYELIN SHEATH which is composed of lipoprotein insulates axons and increases impulse speed.
