The computer chips come from semi conductive minerals usually germanium, silicon, and finding those in nature is not always easy but, they are minerals they are properly manufactured, firstly they are melted down and then are pulled into a giant single crystal that is perfectly shaped to fit the needs of the computer chip manufacturer, then they are cleaned and cut within a few thousandths of a inch usually thinner than a piece of paper and smaller than a rice grain, then etched with UV resin, washes, and copper to make microscopic pathways for transistors and so forth, then after that they are put into they're cases and have the very small like thinner than a hair small gold electrical wires attached to each point of the chip.So from a outside perspective yes they are still minerals but refined and manufactured to fit a purpose entirely different than the material itself is.

Rudiy27

Answer:

The terms old world and the new world are used in the context of history and for the prime objective of differentiating the major ecozones found on the planet. This also helps in categorizing various species of plants and animals that originated in different places and times.  

In terms of old and new, Old World signifies to Asia, Europe, and Africa, on the other hand, the New World signifies towards the Americas that comprise South America, North America, and Central America. The New World monkeys possess prehensile tails, while the Old World monkeys don't. This suggests that the prehensile tail originated in the monkeys found in the New World, primarily after the separation of the Americas from Asia and Africa.

Natural selection causes A. changes in allele frequencies within a population. B. changes in the mechanism of inheritance. C. th
wolverine [178]

Answer:

Natural selection causes change in allele frequencies within a population.          

So option A is correct one.

Explanation:

Natural selection generally  work  on an organism’s phenotype, or observable features. Phenotype is often largely a product of genotype (the alleles, or gene versions, the organism carries). When a phenotype produced by certain alleles helps organisms survive and reproduce better than their peers, natural selection can increase the frequency of the helpful alleles from one generation to the next – that is, it can cause microevolution.
