Bodies of water, such as ponds, freeze from top to bottom, forming a floating sheet of ice. This can help aquatic organisms survive during cold winter months.
Which of the following statements explains why the ice floats on the surface of the pond?
Choose 1
The ice molecules have higher kinetic energy than the liquid water molecules, causing them to
float.
As water freezes, ionic bonds form between water molecules, preventing the ice from sinking
below the surface.
The crystalline structure of solid ice makes it less dense than liquid water.
The increased number of hydrogen bonds in ice compared to liquid water causes the water
molecules in ice to be closer together

Coat color in cats is determined by genes at several different loci. at one locus on the x chromosome, one allele (x ) encodes black fur and another allele (xo) encodes orange fur. females can be black (x x ), orange (xoxo), or a mixture of orange and black called tortoiseshell (x xo). males are either black (x y) or orange (xoy). bill has a female tortoiseshell cat named patches. one night, patches escapes from bill\'s house, spends the night out, and mates with a stray male. patches later gives birth to the following kittens: one orange male, one black male, two tortoiseshell females, and one orange female. what are the genotypes of patches, the stray male, and the kittens?
