1. You can identify a mineral by its appearance and other properties.

2. The color and luster describe the appearance of a mineral, and streak describes the color of the powdered mineral.

3. A mineral has a characteristic density.

Explain how you could determine wheater seeds in packets of round pea seeds have a genotype rr or rr

mezya [45]

I think you mean Round could be RR or Rr (round is dominant to wrinkled)
R=round
r=wrinkled
RR would be round phenotypically
Rr would be round phenotypically
To determine if they are RR or Rr you should perform a backcross with a wrinkled mutant!
I put a picture to demonstrate this.
If they are RR then if you cross with rr you would only get phenotypically Round pea plants.
If they are Rr then if you cross with rr you would get 50% round and 50% wrinkled. Any wrinkled? Definitely the heterozygote Rr!!

It is the second largest organ of the body, second only to the skin. The liver is divided into four lobes which include;

1) The right lobe

2) The left lobe

3) The quadrate lobe and

4) The caudate lobe

The blood supply to the liver include;

1) The hepatic artery

2) The hepatic portal vein which supplies the liver with nutrients-filled blood from the small intestine. It is the main blood supply to the liver.

The venous drainage is through the hepatic veins.

The nerve supply is through the hepatic plexus made up of sympathetic and parasympathetic nerves.

The liver plays a major role in the processing and metabolism of food and ingested substances and also detoxification.
