Mussels are shellfish that live on rocks on the coast. They produce a glue-like substance that stops them from being washed off the rocks by strong waves. The glue is most effective when the temperature of the seawater is between 10 °C and 18 °C. A group of scientists studied a species of mussels found in two locations, X and Y. They found that the glue produced by the mussels at X was more effective than the glue produced by the mussels at Y. What inference can the scientists draw from this observation? (A) The seawater at Y was warmer than 18 °C. (8) The seawater at Y was warmer than the seawater at X (C) The temperature of the seawater at the two locations was different (0) The mussels at X produce a glue that is different from that produced by the mussels at Y.23.

Animals receive half of their DNA from their mother and the other half from their father. DNA can be removed from its cells and displayed as a series of visible black lines on a strip using special tests. This means that some DNA lines from the mother and father will be visible in the offspring, The closer two living things are related, the more black DNA lines they have in the same postions.
