14
Q

Properties of hydrogen bonding

A

high specific heat
strong cohesive and adhesive properties
water freezes forms a lattice crystal resulting in ice floating in water
polarity of water allows it to act as a universal solvent

Heterozygous
Aa
40
Homozygous recessive
aa
41
Epistasis
interaction between two alleles which have different effects in combination than individually
42
Cytokinesis
end of mitosis (after telophase) and is marked by a single cell splitting into two daughter cells
