The earth is a rocky planet, made up of many different types of rock that have undergone different geological processes throughout time. Rocks can be classified into three main categories based on how they were formed: sedimentary, igneous and metamorphic.


Rocks are chemically made up of different minerals, which are inorganic substances found within the earth that have a crystalline structure. Minerals are made up of different elements that have formed compounds, with certain elements being very abundant in the earth's crust. The most abundant element in the earth's crust is oxygen, found within rocks in a variety of compounds such as carbonates (CO3), sulfates (SO4) and phosphates (PO4).


Metals such as aluminum and iron are also found widely throughout the earth's crust within various compounds. For example, pyrite, or fool's gold, is an iron ore in which iron is in a compound with sulfur (FeS2). Salts are another common example of minerals found in the earth. Rock salt (NaCl) is a compound occurring naturally, containing sodium(Na) and chlorine (Cl).

Choose the statement that describes processes of receptor-mediated endocytosis, exocytosis, and the changes in the membrane orga
Elis [28]

Answer:

a. Endocytosis involves the opsonization of a receptor and its ligand in clathrin-coated vesicles, along with the inward budding of the plasma membrane. In exocytosis, waste material is enveloped in a membrane that fuses with the interior of the plasma membrane via attachment proteins.

Explanation:

Endocytosis: entails the external binding of a ligand to its receptor which is located on the external side of the plasma membrane. The membrane buds inwardly for internalization to occur.

Exocytosis: material that has been processed inside the cell is transported by vesicles which fuse to the internal side of the plasma membrane and ultimately transported to the outside of the cell.

How can two organisms with a dominant trait for a specific feature produce an organism with a recessive trait for the same featu
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

If the two organisms are heterozygous for the dominant trait.

Explanation:

For every trait, a diploid organism receives two forms of gene called ALLELE, from each parent. Allele is the variant form of a gene.

According to Mendel's law of dominance, for a particular trait, an allele is capable of masking the expression of another allele in a gene. The expressed allele is called the DOMINANT allele while the masked allele is called the RECESSIVE allele. Due to this, an organism can express a dominant trait even in a combined or heterozygous state i.e. different alleles.

When the two heterozygous organisms mate or are crossed, they undergo meiosis and their alleles are separated into GAMETES according to Mendel's law of segregation. For example; an organism with genotype (genetic make-up) Aa will produce gametes with A and a alleles.

Note that, a recessive trait can only be expressed in a homozygous state i.e. same allele. Hence, the two heterozygous organisms will produce gametes containing the recessive allele, which will likely combine to produce a recessive phenotype or trait.
