The right answer is seismic waves.

Seismic waves are elastic waves that can pass through a medium by modifying it according to the intensity of the earthquake. The initial impulse will "start" the elementary particles present in the medium, which will "push" other particles before resuming their place, propagating following a chain reaction. Vibrations during an earthquake spread in all directions.

From the options, the three answers are mineral composition, ease of dissolving and p

Explanation:

Weathering is the phenomenon in which surface of rocks are broken down and leaches or washed away.

The factors that affect the rock type and rate of weathering of said rock include:

Composition: this translates to the mineral composition in the rock and how susceptible to chemical weathering reaction
Surface area and porosity: Surface porosity determines how easily the rock can be leached by wind or rain.
Climate: Mechanical weathering due to extreme climate change can cause freezing and thawing of the rocks, thereby enhancing disintegration of the rock. This is determined by the ease of dissolving of the rock.

Hox genes are sometimes called "master switches". They have acquired this nickname because a single Hox gene will turn on (or of

Gwar [14]

Answer: B. False

Explanation:

“Hox” genes are a highly conserved group of genes, all of whose products are transcription factors bearing a specific domain (called a ”homeodomain”). The transcriptional activity of a large amount of genes relevant to embryonic development is controlled by regulatory sites which are able to bind to this domain. Changes in the transcriptional activity of even a single Hox gene may thus have dramatic downstream effects on the phenotype, as this will result in several further genes having their transcription either enhanced or suppressed.
