The answer to this would be a quartz.
Quartz is a mineral composed of silicon and oxygen atoms in a continuous framework of SiO₄ silicon–oxygen tetrahedra, with each oxygen being shared between two tetrahedra, giving an overall chemical formula of SiO₂
so that is why quartz would be the best be carried in solution by a stream.
Hope this helped :)
Have a great day
Answer: The simplest way is to determine if a strain is mutant is observing morphology, growth rate, double time, etc but it is accurate if you can prove if the strain is deficient in one aminoacid or can't metabolize lactose, etc.
Explanation: A wildtype strain functions normally, for example, can metabolize as a carbon source, glucose, lactose and other sugars, can synthesize all the aminoacids requered for protein synthesis, etc. If a strain suffers a mutation and it is inheritable, the strain become a mutant. Since several mutations can be silent ones, only those that interfere with a process, can be assesed easyly.
For example, if you have several strains and put them in a lactose medium, but some of them cannot growth means that are lactose mutants. Those strains could carry a mutation in genes that encode lactose degrading enzymes or in regulatory genes of the lac operon, etc.
Answer: d. Predators avoid prey that are in their prime in order to maintain a high reproductive rate in the prey population, and hence 'grow' prey for the future.
Explanation:
A predator can be define as an organism superior and strong enough to kill inferior and weaker organism. This organism kill other organism to obtain it as food. A prey is an organism which is weak and cannot defend itself from the attack of the superior organism.
d. is the correct option. This is because the predators do not bother about the age and strength of the prey. They attack over them whether the prey is weak , young, prime, or old and try to obtain it as food.
