3 0

Answer:

The correct answer is: none of these mineral groups contain silicon.

Explanation:

The only minerals that contain silicon are the Silicates, for example, SiO2 (silica).

Halides are minerals that consist of a combination of elements from the seventh group that can form salts (like fluorine or chlorine), with other elements such as calcium and sodium. For example: NaCl (sodium chloride).

Carbonates are compounds that contain carbon and oxygen, for example, CaMg(CO3)2 (dolomite).

Sulfides consist of sulfur with another element. For example: ZnS (zinc sulfide).

melomori [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is option B "It will become narrower (span a more narrow range of ambient temperatures)".

Explanation:

Dogs, and other animals with fur, use their pelage to increase the range of ambient temperatures that they can tolerate. The way they do it is by altering their fluffiness depending if they are exposed to cooler or heater temperatures. If a dog is shaved, its thermoneutral zone will become narrower. Therefore, the dog will not be able to live in extremal temperature conditions as it did before with its fur.

What process accounts for species diversity? A) Mitosis B) Meiosis C) Predation D) Symbiosis
Fudgin [204]
<span>The correct answer is B.
Meiosis is the process which accounts for species diversity. Meiosis is termed as a specialized cell division which reduces chromosomes number by half and then creates for haploid cells.
The process of meiosis occurs in multicellular eukaryotes and in sexually reproducing single-celled. For example plants, fungi, and animals. The two meiotic divisions are called meiosis11 and meiosis 1.
Now that chromosomes are halved during meiosis gametes can fertilize to form a diploid zygote and contains two copies of chromosome one from each other.</span>
