There are several properties of water that make Earth a suitable environment for life, including water's high boiling point and

high heat capacity. Which best explains why this characteristic of water is important for marine life?
A.) It allows water to remain in its liquid form even at relatively high temperatures.
B.) It allows water to vaporize easily, powering the water cycle.
C.) It allows water to be denser, making it easy for living organisms to move through.
D.) It allows water to resist freezing and thawing cycles.

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.

USPshnik [31]
Question is as interesting as the animal jackalope.

We ASSUME that incomplete dominance of the number of horns gives rise to 0,1 or 2 horns, where hh=>0, Hh=>1 ("blend" of 0 and 2), and HH=>2 horns.

So if HH crosses with hh, the genotype of the offspring will be Hh, i.e. phenotype Hh=> 1 horn

Answer:

(Indian Leaf Butterfly) CAMOUFLAGED

(Monarch Butterfly) CHEMICAL DEFENSE and COLOURFUL WARNING SIGNALS

Explanation:

The Indian leaf butterflies survives by camouflaging to deceive a potential enemy. They could also seek survival by blending to their presents environment such that a supposed enemy finds it hard to identify with their presence.

The monarch Butterfly are very colourful and are super in defending themselves through chemical means.

By chemical defense, they do well to feed on milkweed which is highly poisonous but they have their way of isolating themselves from the consumed poison.

They also send away predators using their colourful warning signals and bright colours. This colours informs predators that they contain poisonous contents.

When a predator bites a monarch Butterfly, it taste the poisons in the wings of the butterfly and let it go. But if peradventure a birds swallows a monarch, the experience of the taste of the poisons teaches the bird never to hunt a monarch Butterfly again
