When salt is mixed with water and stirred, the salt will dissolve, forming a solution. When sand is mixed with water, the sand w

ill not dissolve. Why will salt form a solution with water but sand will not?
A) Salt is pulled apart into two ions by the polar water molecules, and sand is not.

B) Sand forms complex crystals which dissolve much more slowly than non-crystalline salt.

C) Salt consists of only 2 atoms and is small enough to dissolve, while sand is too large.

D) Sand is much harder than salt and so it will not form a solution with water.

The correct answer is A) Salt is pulled apart into two ions by the polar water molecules, and sand is not.

This happens because salt has both positive and negative ends that are attracted by the polar molecules of water.

Non-protein coding DNA in eukaryotes contains repetitive elements that include (select all that apply): Group of answer choices
Olegator [25]

Answer:

interspersed, transposon-derived repeats, simple sequence repeats.

Explanation:

In the human genome, not only the protein coding genes are present, in fact these genes make up just a very little portion of the human genome about 1.5-2% of the entire human genome. Repeats make up about 48% of the human genome which is the largest and the rest include, conserved non coding sequences (43.5%), heterochromatin regions etc.  

Some of the repetitive elements includes LINEs, SINEs, DNA fossils tranposoon, Retrovirus like elements. all these are transposable elements which are  mobile DNA sequences that can migrate to different  regions/areas of the genome.

Microsatellites (simple sequence repeats) are tracts of repetitive DNA in which certain DNA motifs are repeated normally 5-50 times.
