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.

You are given an experimental problem involving control of a gene's expression in the embryo of a particular species. One of you
adell [148]

Answer:

B) You measure the quantity of the appropriate pre-mRNA in various cell types and find they are all the same.

Explanation:

In the above scenario, we are using the control gene and we should know about the control gene is that its expression is either at transcription level or at translation level. For this situation we should examine the pre-mRNA stage of control gene in various cells because it is control gene so it should be present in various cells.

So, the best practice is to quantify the pre-mRNA level of gene then we can effectively solve the experimental problem and find the gene expression either it is at transcription or translation level.
