The correct answer is that porous minerals weather faster.

The process of weathering alter and disintegrates the rocks and minerals closer to or at the surface of the Earth. This process shapes the Earth's surface. The three kinds of weathering comprise biological, mechanical, and chemical. Weathering dissociates apart and erodes rocks and minerals.

The rocks are the symbols of strength and durability. The rocks are usually resilient to weathering. This confrontation relies on the mineral composition and mineral porosity. The physically soft or porous minerals are easily crushed and dissociated, while in case of harder minerals it is quite tough.

Autosomes are _______ chromosomes. A. haploid B. homologous C. nonsex D. abnormal

Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Autosomes are non-sex chromosomes, meaning they are non-sex determining chromosomes inside cells. Humans naturally have 46 chromosomes in each body cells; 44 of these are actually autosomes that a person inherits from his/her parents. All persons get 22 autosomes from the mother and the other 22 autosomes will be coming from the father. These autosomes always come in pairs and since everyone has 44 of these autosomes in their cells, it should be noted that there are only 22 types that are obviously numbered from 1 to 22.

You perform a co-transduction experiment with pro+ gal+ arg- man- donor and pro- gal- arg+ man+ recipient. On master plate 1, yo

vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

arg---pro---gal---man.

Explanation:

The co transduction frequency is directly proportional to the distance between two genes.

The recombination frequency can be calculated as follows;

A - B = (A - B / A ) x 100

Here, A and B represent the different genes.

For plate 1 :

Pro- gal = A - B = (1000 - 400/1000) x 100 = 60% . Here, A is Pro and B is gal.

Pro - Arg = A - C = (1000- 290/1000) x 100 = 71% . Here, C is Arg.

Pro - Man = A - D = (1000-1000/1000) x 100 = 0%. Here D is Man.

For Gal transductants of plate 2

Gal - Pro = A - B = (1000 - 390/1000) x 100 = 61% . Here A is Gal and B is Pro.

Gal - Arg = A - C = (1000- 289/1000) x 100 = 71% . Here, C is Arg.

Gal - Man = A - D = (1000-900/1000) x 100 = 10%. Here D is Man.

From the recombination frequencies it is clear that the location of genes are in the order of

Thus, the correct answer is option (B).

Adapt extinct mutation

lisabon 2012 [21]

That organism will survive in the future which adapt themselves according to the environment.

<h3>What is fitness?</h3>

Fittest is the term describes living things that are best suited to their environment.

Species that survive are the ones that adapt, make or meet changes.

Florida has a rich fossil record spanning from the Eocene to recent times. Florida fossils are often very well preserved.

Two examples of land animal fossils found in Florida are the giant sloth and the saber-tooth tiger.

Some animals unable to adapt to the changing environment became extinct .

Living things mutate over time to meet their changing environment.

This biologist, Darwin, studied evolution in the 1800s.

The glyptodont was a giant, armadillo-like animal with a spiked tail that once lived in Florida.

The Origin of Species is a book written in 1859 about natural selection.

Nature selects the fittest for survival because they have useful traits.

Changes may occur in animals due to changes in the sequence of base pairs in their DNA, and this is known as a mutation.

Oldfield mice show variation in the color of their fur.

The survival of the light-colored old field mice on Florida's Gulf Coast is an example of the process called adaptation.

Evolution is a controversial theory that has survived much criticism.
