navik [9.2K]2 years ago

Answer:

Option (C)

Explanation:

Diamond is the hardest of all the minerals. According to Mohr's hardness scale, it has a hardness of 10. The carbon atoms in diamond are shared by a strong covalent bond. They are formed in the mantle at a depth of about 150 km and beyond that, where the temperature and pressure condition is extremely high. These diamonds are carried to the near-surface region with the help of kimberlite pipes due to the deep volcanic eruption that is initiated. <u>Diamonds are very expensive because they are formed at huge depth and their cost of extraction is really high.</u> <u>They are very rare so they are really valuable</u>.

Thus, diamonds are used as a gem because of their hard and adamantine luster.

Hence, the correct answer is option (C).

What are the differences between white blood cells and normal eukaryotic cells?
Veronika [31]

Answer:

White blood cells (WBCs) are specialized to respond to antigen and produce antibodies as well as undergo phagocytosis in response to toxic stimuli.

WBCs are part of immune system and there are five different kinds with specialized features.

In order to make a cell model, it is best to use a muscle cell and a nerve cell or neuron: there are pronounced structural differences and those are present throughout animal kingdom.

Lower animals ( such as insects, worms etc. ) have different immune system, however, they do have typical neuron and a muscle cell/skin cell (fibroblast). Such cell models are likely to be easy, distinct and bring you good grades without going through much complication and confusions of various organ systems and animal mod

All individuals have two alleles for a given trait. According to Mendel's ____________, these alleles are passed down one each f
nata0808 [166]
The correct answer for this question is A. Law of segregation.

All individuals have two alleles for a  given trait. According to Mendel's Law of segregation, these alleles are passed down one each from both mother and father.  

Explanations;
According to this law of segregation the allele pairs separate or segregate during the formation of gamete, during the process of meiosis, leaving each cell with a single allele for each trait, and randomly unite during fertilization. One pair of allele comes from the mother while the other pair comes from the father, and joins together to form a diploid cell. Therefore, organisms inherit two alleles for each trait one from each parent.
