Answer: Option B.

Minerals can change color base on impurities.

Explanation:

Minerals are naturally occurring inorganic solids that have lattice structure and chemical composition.

Color alone is not reliable to identify minerals because minerals can change color base on impurities. Some minerals may have more than one color.

Minerals can best be identified base on their physical properties which is related to their chemical composition and bonding. Hardness, lustre, cleavage and how it's react to acid can be use to identify minerals.

You have designed a drug that irreversibly binds to the p-site of the ribosome. what is the outcome for a growing bacterial cell
Sonja [21]
<span>The P-site of the ribosomes is the site of polypeptide elongation during translation of mRNA. Therefore, a drug that binds to this site ensures that there is no elongation hence, basically, the translation process is inhibited. The <span>growing bacteria cell will stop growing and die due to lack of structural and functional proteins to grow and perform its cellular processes respectively..</span></span>

What explanation does this image tell about reproduction and variation?
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

First, the image tells that chromosomes are made up of genes or that genes are located on chromosomes. It further showed that genes are translated as proteins in the cell and this protein respectively control the expression of traits.

Secondly, it also showed that during sexual reproduction, the offspring produced usually have the same proteins as the parent and therefore have exactly the same traits as the parent. Only one parent is needed for asexual reproduction.

<u>However, two parents are needed for sexual reproduction where each parent donate chromosomes containing gene to the genome of their offpsring. The mixture of genes ensures that the offspring look different from the parent.</u>

<em>The image further showed that asexual reproduction does not lead to any variation while sexual reproduction leads to variation of the offpsring from their parents.</em>
