Extrusion is NOT a process involved in the formation of sedimentary rock.

<h2>Further Explanation</h2><h3>Sedimentary rocks </h3>
  • Sedimentary rocks are types of rocks that are formed through accumulation of sediments at low temperatures in tectonic layers and sinks. These sediments includes; pebbles, shells, sand and other material fragments.  
  • The sediments accumulates in layers and then harden into rocks over a period of time.
  • Examples of sedimentary rocks include; limestone and conglomerate
  • There are five basic steps involved in the formation of sedimentary rocks:
  1. Weathering (making the sediment by breaking down or dissolving preexisting rocks or living organisms)
  2. Erosion (picking up the sediment by water, wind, or glaciers)
  3. Transportation (moving the sediment by water, wind, or glaciers)
  4. Deposition (depositing the sediment)
  5. Lithification (turning the sediment to rock).
<h3>Other types of rocks</h3><h3>Metamorphic rocks</h3>
  • These are types of rocks that are formed as a result of changes that occurs due to intense heat and pressure under the surface of the earth. They result from action of heat and pressure on other rocks that pre-existed.
  • These types of rocks are characterized by shiny crystals, ribbon-like layers among other features.
  • Examples of metamorphic rocks are marble and gneiss
<h3>Igneous rocks </h3>
  • These are types of rocks that are formed as a result hardening and cooling of magma from volcanic eruptions. Magma may cool inside the earth or when on the surface of the earth as a result of volcanic eruptions. The lava from this eruptions cools and hardens to form metamorphic rocks.
  • Igneous rocks are glass-like and shiny with no crystals. They may also have tiny spaces and holes due to gas bubbles trapped during the cooling process.
  • Examples of igneous rocks include obsidian and basalt.
  • The three types of rocks may be further classified in terms of chemical composition, texture and formation.

Key words: Rocks, sedimentary rocks

What are the structures and functions of the tissues lining the respiratory organs?
Anon25 [30]

Answer:

1-The respiratory system is the network of organs and tissues that help you breathe. It includes your airways, lungs and blood vessels. The muscles that power your lungs are also part of the respiratory system. These parts work together to move oxygen throughout the body and clean out waste gases like carbon dioxide.

2-The fluid represents the outermost layer of the alveolar surface that is directly exposed to air and thus to the environment. Alveolar fluid prevents desiccation of the epithelial cells and also functions as a physical protection barrier against inhaled particles and irritants.

3-The main function of surfactant is to lower the surface tension at the air/liquid interface within the alveoli of the lung. This is needed to lower the work of breathing and to prevent alveolar collapse at end-expiration.

4-The trachea (windpipe) conducts inhaled air into the lungs through its tubular branches, called bronchi. The bronchi then divide into smaller and smaller branches (bronchioles), finally becoming microscopic. The bronchioles eventually end in clusters of microscopic air sacs called alveoli.

A grocery store newspaper claims that apple cider and honey can cure cancer, bronchitis, acne, bad breath, heart disease, athlet
frosja888 [35]
The shopper should first ask if this claims created by the newspaper is true and is backed up by actual facts. While apple cider and honey do have positive benefits, it is not the answer to all ailments.
Assuming that everything said was true, the shopper then must know whether or not he/she has allergies to apple cider and honey like itching, rashes, difficulty in swallowing, etc.
Lastly, the shopper should ask how much apple cider and honey should he/she take. Too much of both can lead to adverse side effects. If he/she were to consume apple cider and honey exclusively, then they should visit a doctor or a nutritionist in order to get the right amount of intake.

If the interference value is 1, then what is the probability of recombination between genes A and B if: 1.There is a recombinati
ikadub [295]

Answer:

E. 0.0.

Explanation:

The measure of crossing over  coincidence interrelatedness between one cross over and another in a given pair of chromosome is known as what is called Interference.

Given that :

the interference value = 1

The probability of recombination between genes A and B is zero i.e 0.0 because:

when another gene co-occur with a particular gene during cross over, the coefficient of coincidence decreases. We know that the interference is maximum at 1, we can say it ranges from 0-1; now that two recombination is taking place in two genes,the probability is likely to decrease from 1 to 0.0

Similarly;  Since  the probability of recombination is taking place  between two genes i.e genes A and B. Then  there is no probability of  double crossover when interference value = 1 but when it is zero there is probability of double crossover to occur. With that being said, the probability of recombination between genes A and B is 0.0
