The chemical composition of a mineral determines its properties.

A mineral is a naturally occurring inorganic solid substance that has a definite chemical composition and characteristic physical properties. The definite chemical composition and internal atomic structure of a mineral directly determines its properties and outward appearance which can be used to identify the mineral. Minerals are composed of one or more elements. For example the mineral quartz has the elements silicon (Si) and oxygen (O) as its only constituents.

<span>Parents can pass on chromosomes to their children that are different than their own when the new gene combinations are created by crossing over. The exchange of genetic material between homologous chromosomes is known as crossing over which occurs in meiosis. When homologous chromosomes pair up and exchange different segments of the genetic material. As the result, a new combination of genes will be formed. If there was not crossing over, all genes on a chromosome would be inherited together.</span>

Which two structures are found ONLY in plant cells?
Naya [18.7K]


The best answer is  C.

Plant cells are surrounded by a cell wall and have chloroplasts whereas animal cell do not.

The cell wall is  a covering that is rigid whose main purpose is to protect the cell and give structural support as well shape to the plant cell. The equivalent of a cell wall in animal cell is the cell membrane, which has distinct differences from the plant  cell wall.

Chloroplasts are plant  cell organelles which carry out photosynthesis by which plants make their own food. These are absent from animal cells because animals do not make their own food, they ingest it from external sources.
