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.

Wild diploid wheat has seven chromosomes in its pollen. Discuss the major events that had to occur for tetraploid pasta wheat to

lianna [129]

Answer:

Tetraploid wheat evolved by allopolyploidization and subsequent diploid-like behavior due to cytological diploidization

Explanation:

Durum wheat (Triticum durum) or pasta wheat, is a tetraploid wheat species that has 28 chromosomes, i.e., seven pairs in each genome (2n = 4x = 28). Durum wheat was domesticated from wild emmer wheat, which originated by hybridization of two diploid wheat species with 14 chromosomes: Triticum monococcum (genome AA) and one wild progenitor (genome BB). Triticum durum is a typical example of evolution by hybridization and polyploidization, where the resultant tetraploid species has two complete sets of chromosomes. Allopolyploidization is one of the most common types of plant speciation. During meiosis, 28 chromosomes form 14 homologous chromosome pairs, because homologous chromosomes have developed 'restriction of pairing' (i.e., cytological diploidization). The restriction of pairing to fully homologous chromosomes ensures a correct meiotic behavior, which otherwise would be altered due to the high level of homology that still exists among chromosomes from different wheat progenitors.

Overlearning"" in habituation (or below-zero habituation) can occur if __________________. A. several different stimuli are used

katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

C. habituation trials continue after the response has disappeared.

Explanation:

habituation involves the complete elimination of a particular response (i.e, zero frequency of occurrence). If the stimulus cintinues to be presented for an additional number of trials, then, although no further changes occur, the response will exhibit lower levels of recovery (e.g, spontaneous recovery is reduced) as if the response would have fallen below a zero frequency.
