How does crystal size compare in extrusive vs. intrusive rock? Explain the cause of this difference

1 answer:

5 0

The difference between extrusive and intrusive rocks are how they cool down. Extrusive rocks cool down quickly and are created by lava; because of this they have very small, fine-grained crystals. Intrusive rocks cool slowly beneath the surface of the earth and are created by magma; because the cooling process is very slow the rocks have very large crystals.

Eyelash length is an inherited trait. in the human population, there is an eyelash length gene. there are two possible variants

VMariaS [17]

Humans, like all mammals, are diploid organisms. This means that we have two copies of each chromosome. In diploid organisms, one somatic cell would have two copies of each gene. This means that in one somatic cell, an individual carries two copies of alleles for long eyelashes, and also two copies of alleles for short eyelashes.
