I'm pretty sure organic materials are considered sediments and not minerals because organic materials come from the Earth's surface. Minerals must be mined for in order to find.

Answer:

Sediments are defined as the particles that are derived from the weathering of rocks on the surface of the earth. These are formed in the terrestrial areas. One of the types of sediment is the biogenous sediments which are derived from the dead organic matters of plants as well as animals. These remains of plants and animals are also known as organic sediments as they are directly derived from the surface and are found as a mixture of both rock fragments as well as dead remains of flora and fauna.

In order to be a mineral, the particle must be naturally occurring with a specific chemical composition and internal atomic structure.

This is why the organic material are considered to be sediments but not as minerals.

Normally, wild violets have yellow petals with dark brown markings end erect stems. Imagine you discover e plant with white peta
Wittaler [7]

Answer:

It is fascinating to observe two distinct characters presented by the same plant. The inheritance of this plant can be determined easily by crossing the pure violets exhibiting yellow petals with dark brown marking and erect stems with violets exhibiting no markings, white petals, and prostate stems.  

The F1 progeny will originate as a hybrid of the two characters. These F1 plants will then be crossed between themselves and the F2 progeny would be clearly evaluated. If the F2 plants come in the phenotypic ratio of 3: 1, then it would indicate the pleiotropic effect of the alleles found in a single locus. If any other combinations arise post crossing, it would indicate that the non-wild type phenotype is because of many distinct mutant genes.

Carbonized fossils are made of:
ExtremeBDS [4]
Carbonized remains are thin, approximately two-dimensional films of carbon preserved on a flat surface of rock. They are most often black in color, reflecting the fact that they composed mostly of carbon (as is coal, which is also black in color). Most fossils that exhibit “soft part” preservation are carbonizations.

I would say the answer is the Carbon remains of the original organism.
