the answer is actually A. chemical weathering by oxidation .

chemical weathering works on rocks that contain iron. These rocks turn to rust in a process called oxidation. Rust is a compound created by the interaction of oxygen and iron in the presence of water.

Answer: A. chemical weathering by oxidation

Weathering is a natural process in which the rock is broken down into small pieces and sediments under the influence of agents like wind, water and chemicals. Chemical weathering is a process in which the rocks breaks down due to the effect of the chemicals. It brings change in the chemical composition of the broken pieces and sediments distinct from the parent rock.

Rust on rocks is a an example of chemical weathering by oxidation. The rock mainly exhibiting elements which can be easily oxidized such as iron undergoes rusting this occurs because oxygen breaks the bonds between the elements in the rock. The internal structure of the rock becomes weak and results in rusting.

Alex787 [66]

Answer:

Alleles refer to the alternative form of the same gene. These are mainly of two types: dominant and recessive allele.

The dominant allele is the which mask the effect of another allele in a heterozygous condition. The allele which is masked or which is not able to express itself in a  heterozygous condition is termed as a recessive allele.

For example, T (codes for tallness of a plant) is dominant over t which codes for a dwarf trait.

The organisms that contain the same allele for a particular trait is said to be homozygous for that trait. For example, TT and tt.

In contrast, if the organism contains different alleles for a particular trait, it is termed as heterozygous for that particular trait. For example, Tt.

Thus, the first, second, third and fourth blank can be correctly filled with dominant, recessive, homozygous, and heterozygous respectively.
