Gneiss is mostly composed of quartz, hornblende, feldspar and mica. It has a distinct alternating bands of light and dark colored minerals. The minerals in the darker band contains hornblende, mica and garnet. The lighter band contain minerals such as feldpar and quartz. This banding has a significant characteristic for defining a gneissic rock.

Answer:

Explanation:

Interphase -Interphase is the portion of the cell cycle that is not accompanied by observable changes under the microscope, and includes the G1, S and G2 phases. During interphase, the cell grows (G1), replicates its DNA (S) and prepares for mitosis

Prophase- the first stage of cell division, before metaphase, during which the chromosomes become visible as paired chromatids and the nuclear envelope disappears. The first prophase of meiosis includes the reduction division.

Metaphase - Metaphase  is a stage of mitosis in the eukaryotic cell cycle in which chromosomes are at their second-most condensed and coiled stage (they are at their most condensed in anaphase). These chromosomes, carrying genetic information, align in the equator of the cell before being separated into each of the two daughter cells.

Anaphase - Anaphase  is the stage of mitosis after the process of metaphase, when replicated chromosomes are split and the newly-copied chromosomes (daughter chromatids) are moved to opposite poles of the cell

Telophase- he final phase of cell division, between anaphase and interphase, in which the chromatids or chromosomes move to opposite ends of the cell and two nuclei are formed.

NeX [460]

Answer:

I don't think there is a #6, so I'm gonna answer the "Mammals and plants don't belong in the same domain".. If this is the wrong one I can help with the one you actually need help with.

Explanation:

Myth: Mammals and plants don't belong in the same domain. 

Fact: Mammals, being a group of animals do not belong in the same domain as plants. Evidence: All living organisms are divided into three domains: Bacteria, Archaea and Eukarya. All of the organisms that possess a eukaryotic cell, plants, animals, protists, and fungi are in the Eukarya domain. Therefore, mammals and plants belong to the same domain, the Eukarya domain.
