(GIVING BRAINLIEST!) Which of the following statements about oceans is incorrect?

A) Oceans collect water from other reservoirs including streams and rivers.
B) Oceans are the main source of drinking water on Earth's surface.
C) Oceans are connected to other reservoirs through evaporation and precipitation.
D) Oceans are the main type of reservoir that contain salt water.

B

Explanation:

B is incorrect because oceans are not the main source of drinking water. They contain the most water, but the ocean is not drinkable as it is much too salty and would lead to dehydration and the shriveling up of cells, causing death if it was the only water you drank. Usually only small island countries will have to resort to drinking ocean water after desalinating it, but most of the world gets their water from other sources such as groundwater, springs, lakes, and rivers.

the diploid number of chromosomes is sometimes represented by the symbol 2n. for the fruit fly, the diploid number is 8, which can be written as 2n = 8, where n represents twice the number of chromosomes in a sperm or egg cell.
