As with igneous and sedimentary rocks<span>, </span>metamorphic rocks<span> are </span>classified<span> on the basis of texture (grain size, shape, orientation) and mineral composition. However, the classification of </span>metamorphic rocks<span> is more difficult to get into than with igneous and sedimentary </span>rocks<span>, for a couple of reasons.</span>

Metamorphic rocks are classified as either foliated or nonfoliated . Foilated rocks have layers of mineral grains. Nonfoliated rocks have little or no layering. ( just took the test)

The ultimate goal of sustainable development is to limit the future use of resources b. meet current and future resource needs C
egoroff_w [7]

The correct answer is B. Meet current and future resource needs.

Explanation:

Sustainability implies an equilibrium between the natural resources available and the resources humanity requires. This equilibrium is reached when the natural resources extracted from nature are enough to satisfy human needs without depleting the resources or causing these are not available in the future. In this context, the goal of sustainable development is to make sure now and in the future resource needs are meet (option B). Moreover, this is possible through actions such as recycling, reducing deforestation, creating environment-friendly technologies, among others that reduce the depletion of resources or preserve the environment.

Do adult individuals stop growing? explain your thinking in detail​
SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

Although most adults won't grow taller after age 18 to 20, there are exceptions to this rule. First, the closure of the growth plates may be delayed in some individuals. If the growth plates remain open past age 18 to 20, which is uncommon, height could continue to increase.

Which of the following sequences shows a frameshift mutation compared to the wild-type mRNA sequence?
Butoxors [25]

Option C:

B. wild-type 5-AUGCAUACAUUGGAGUGA-3 mutant 5'-AUGCAUACAUCUGGAGUGA- 3' 

Explanation:

A frameshift mutation is a genetic mutation such that the triplet nature of gene expression by codons, the insertion or deletion occurs in such as way that it alters the complete sequence of 3 codon sets and can change the reading frame, resulting in a completely different translation from the original.

As it is pertinent to understanding that all genes are normally translated in sets of 3 codons, which typically describes and explain a unique amino acid sequence. Thus, if a frame shift mutation occurs, it can affect many amino acid sequences and finally the entire protein.  

If we look at option B:

wild-type 5-AUG   CAU  ACA  UUG  GAG  UGA-3  

mutant 5’-    AUG   CAU  ACA  UCU  GGA  GUG  A-3’  

An insertion of a base Uracil showed at the end of 3rd codon which affected and altered the whole sequence of codon triplets. This changed all next codons and finally all next amino acids will be altered.
