Answer: Schist and gneiss

Explanation: The rocks that forms at the highest pressure and temperature condition are Schist and Gneiss, where Gneiss being the highest grade metamorphic rock.

Schist is mainly comprised of quartz, some feldspars and platy minerals such as biotite and muscovite and are foliated rocks with a distinct cleavage commonly known as the schistocity.

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.

Eukaryotic cells. Classify each statement according to whether it occurs in eukaryotic cells, prokaryotic cells, or both.
frutty [35]

Answer:

<u>Both</u>:

  • The start codon is often AUG

<u>Eukaryotic cell only:</u>

  • The larger subunit of the ribosome is 60s.
  • The ribosomes initially binds the 5' end of mRNA.

<u>Prokaryotic cell only</u>:

  • The ribosome is 70s
  • Translation occurs in the cytoplasm
  • There are multiple ribosome binding site

Explanation:

  • AUG is the common start codon for both eukaryotic as well prokaryotic cells. In eukaryotic cell, it codes for methionine . While in prokaryotic cell, it codes for formyl methionine.
  • In prokaryotic cell, ribosomes are found in cytoplasm, hence the translation occurs in cytoplasm.
  • Eukaryotic ribosome consists of two subunits; 40s and 60s(larger subunit)
  • Prokaryotic ribosomes have 70s ribososme, which consists of 50s and 20s subuints
  • in eukaryotic cell, 40s ribosome initially binds to the cap at the 5' end of mRNA.
  • Bacterial mRNA contain multiple ribosome binding sites.
