Why does a needle left out in the sun get so much hotter than a bucket of water left out in the sun

Answer:

Due to high specific heat of water than the needle.

Explanation:

The needle is a good conductor of heat. When the sunlight falls on it, it gets heat quickly.  In the case of water, it takes more time to get heat. This is because the specific heat of water is more than any other substance. Specific heat is the amount of heat needed for 1gm of substance to get 1-degree Celsius rise in temperature. In water, it takes more time to heat. That's why the ocean, rivers take a long time to get heat than the land which causes sea breezes and land breezes. The water can hold the heat unless every atom of it gets heated. Water uses as the insulator for the heated objects. This is the very reason the water becomes less heat than the needle.

The correct answer is 

Because the needle can't hold as much heat as the bucket of water. Therefore the water can hold and disperse more heat and the needle will be hotter.

Which of the four factors that affect evolution apply to the finches that the Grants studied?Use evidence from your research to
BARSIC [14]
The four factors that affect evolution are mutations, natural selection, genetic drift and the gene flow, In the case, if the ground finches that Grants studied, we can observe the working of the natural selection. Due to change in the conditions in the environment, the large beak was an advantageous trait that was favored by the natural selection. The result of this process was an increase in numbers of large beaked finches and decrease in small-beaked finches compared to the initial numbers in the population.

Regarding horizontal gene transfer between bacteria by conjugation, transduction, or transformation:
Mice21 [21]

Answer:

Distinct mechanisms are used by bacteria in order to transfer the gene from one bacteria to another. These are transformation, transduction, and conjugation. Transformation refers to the process of uptaking extracellular DNA by the recipient of the other bacterial cell.  

In the process of transduction, the donor DNA gets packed within the bacteriophage and infects the recipient bacteria. In the process of conjugation, the genetic substance is transferred by the donor bacteria to the recipient via the process of mating.  

a. Of all these three mechanisms, transformation is the process that exhibits a broad range and can be easily performed in the lab. As in the process, there is a slight chance of rejection or failure due to direct compatibility between the bacteria.  

b. While the narrowest broad range is found in the process of conjugation, as in order to transfer the genetic substance between the two bacterial species, there should be a similarity between the two species so that they can mate and exchange the genetic substance in between them.
