Weathering

Explanation:

When water freezes and thaws within cracks in rocks thereby eventually breaking it down into smaller pieces, it is physical weathering.

Erosion is the movement or washing away of loose rock materials or weathered materials. In erosion, movement of particles is involved.

  • Weathering the physical disintegration and chemical decomposition of rocks to form sediments and soils.
  • In this case, the rock is being physically broken into smaller pieces by freezing and thawing of ice.

The correct answer is C. Genetic analysis

Explanation:

In biology, two organisms have a phylogenetic relationship if they share a common ancestor and therefore have genetic similarities although in most cases there are also similarities in morphology, physiology, etc. However, two organisms might have similarities in morphology and physiology without genetic similarities. Due to this, if you need to determine whether two species are related or not the best method is a genetic analysis as only those organisms that share a common ancestor (phylogenetic relationship) are genetically similar.

Plan an investigation to determine which part of the oregano plant has the highest concentration of chemicals with antimicrobial
Mkey [24]

Answer:

The study reported here presents a comparative screening of three medicinal plants including oregano (Origanum vulgare L.), lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) and lemon balm (Melissa officinalis) having the same geographical origin, the Southeast region of Romania, and growing in the same natural conditions. The contents of total phenolics and total flavonoids for the extracts of these were determined. Furthermore, the total antioxidant capacity was also evaluated. It was found that Origanum vulgare and Melissa officinalis extracts present the most effective antioxidant capacity in scavenging DPPH radicals, while Lavandula angustifolia is less active. High performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis was used to identify the components of extracts. Major phenolic acids identified in the analysed species were ferulic, rosmarinic, p-coumaric and caffeic, while predominant flavonoids were quercetin, apigenin kaempherol, which were present as glucosides.
