Both are different because of their Silica content and the rates of cooling.

Explanation:

Plagioclase feldspar is igneous rocks. This group rocks are forming from minerals. They are very major to the dominant minerals in igneous rocks which present on the earth’s crust. Rhyolite, andesite, basalt, diorite and granite are the extrusive and intrusive igneous salts where plagioclase is the major constituents.

Igneous rocks are the rocks which formed due to the crystallisation of magma. The main difference between granite and basalt is that one their silica content and second their rates of cooling. A granite contains 73%SiO2 and basalt contains 53% SiO2. Both are slowly cooled inside the earth’s crust.

IRISSAK [1]

Compared to their parents, the new cows are the same species with a different genetic makeup. All cows belong to the same species - Bos taurus species, according to Carl Linnaeus. So, even if this new cow is genetically modified, it would still beong to the same species. However, its genes wouldn't be the same as its parents, given that the scientists tampered with them, which is why it now has a different genetic makeup than its parents.
