5 0

Rocks are objects mainly composed of minerals, which are categorized as igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary.

<h3>What is a rock?</h3>

Rocks are objects composed of two or more different types of minerals, which reacted over a geological scale.

Igneous rocks are formed by minerals found in magma when it crystallizes, whereas sedimentary rocks are formed by geological processes such as erosion.

Finally, metamorphic rocks underwent high heat/pressure, or also mineral-based processes on the geological scale.

In conclusion, rocks are composed of minerals and categorized as igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary.

Pepsi [2]

Answer:

The correct option is: <em>a deficiency of dopamine in the substantia nigra.</em>

Explanation:

The substantia nigra is the principal site involved in the physiopathology of Parkinson´s disease.

Cells from this area degenerate and die progressively causing important degeneration in the central nervous system. The cells that die -with no known reason- are those that produce dopamine and proportionate dopaminergic innervation to the encephalon. In fact, almost all the symptoms exhibited by patients with the disease can be explained by the lack of dopamine in the substantia nigra.  

This area uses the neurotransmitter to communicate neurons from the base ganglia. Ganglia are responsible of modulating and modifying movements.

The nigrostriatal system participates in planning and automatic execution of learned movements. When the ganglia activity decreases, so it does the amount and velocity of movements, something typical of the disease.

Assume that an organism exists in which crossing over does not occur, but that all other processes associated with meiosis occur
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

Option (e).

Explanation:

Meiosis may be defined as the process of cell division in which a single parent cell divides into four daughter cells. The chromosome number reduces to half in meiosis.

Crossing over is the process of exchange of genetic material between the homologous chromosomes of the non-sister chromatids. Crossing over will bring variation in the gametes. Hence, the absence of crossing over results in the formation of gametes with less genetic variation.

Thus, the correct answer is option (e).

Identify the reactants of photosynthesis
olasank [31]

Answer:

The reactants for photosynthesis are light energy, water, carbon dioxide and chlorophyll, while the products are glucose (sugar), oxygen and water.

Explanation:

Water and carbon dioxide are reactants for photosynthesis. Chlorophyll captures sun's light energy and then plants chemically combine this with water and carbon dioxide to make glucose (sugar) and oxygen.
