What is the definition of "recessive"? Question 2 options:

differences that exist between individuals of the same species

process by which organisms with certain traits survive to reproduce and pass on those traits to their offspring

an allele that is never expressed in the presence of a dominant allele, and is expressed only if the recessive allele is passed on from both parents

a section of a chromosome that typically contains the code for a particular protein, which determines a specific trait

Recessive

an allele that is never expressed in the presence of a dominant allele, and is expressed only if the recessive allele is passed on from both parents

the best answer is d because the strong cohesion is caused by the ability of water molecules to undergo hydrogen bonding.

a is incorrect because when water solidifies, it becomes   ice, which expands and occupies a bigger volume for the same mass of water in its liquid state.

b is incorrect because water has high surface tension. besides bonding to itself it hydrogen bonds to other molecules at the top decreasing possibility for breaking of attractive forces.

c is incorrect because the water molecule has oxygen which is highly electronegative and so pulls the electron pair towards itself creating a dipole moment, making the molecule polar.

e is incorrect because water has strong adhesion, ability to stick to other molecules such as glass because of this molecules having stronger hydrogen bonding than water.
