Rock A = It is a metamorphic rock that experienced tremendous heat and pressure due to massive, moving tectonic plates.
Metamorphic rocks are rocks that have been somewhat squished and transformed by heat and pressure. These rocks often have different layers as the rocks go through pressure and are literally look like rocks that have been piled up and then stuck together. The best indicator of this rock being a metamorphic rock is the wavy elongated stripes. The stripes are created from the different rock elements being pressed together over time.
Rock B = It is a sedimentary rock made primarily from lithification of organic material.
Sedimentary rocks are rocks that have been formed by different substances that come together due to the different weather conditions. The best indicator of this being a sedimentary rock is how the rock came together and looks like a bunch of shells were glued together.
Rock C = It is an igneous rock that was formed above Earth’s surface.
Most igneous rocks have smooth outer layers. These rocks are often made with solidified magma from volcanoes. The best indicator of this being an igneous rock is the indication of it being a solidified piece of magma.
1. Three nucleotides encode an amino acid. Proteins are built from a basic set of 20 amino acids, but there are only four bases. Simple calculations show that a minimum of three bases is required to encode at least 20 amino acids. Genetic experiments showed that an amino acid is in fact encoded by a group of three bases, or codon.
<span>2. The code is nonoverlapping. Consider a base sequence ABCDEF. In an overlapping code, ABC specifies the first amino acid, BCD the next, CDE the next, and so on. In a nonoverlapping code, ABC designates the first amino acid, DEF the second, and so forth. Genetics experiments again established the code to be nonoverlapping. </span>
<span>3. The code has no punctuation. In principle, one base (denoted as Q) might serve as a “comma” between groups of three bases. </span>
<span>This is not the case. Rather, the sequence of bases is read sequentially from a fixed starting point, without punctuation. </span>
<span>4. The genetic code is degenerate. Some amino acids are encoded by more than one codon, inasmuch as there are 64 possible base triplets and only 20 amino acids. In fact, 61 of the 64 possible triplets specify particular amino acids and 3 triplets (called stop codons) designate the termination of translation. Thus, for most amino acids, there is more than one code word.</span>
GMO - Genetically Modified Organism <span />
Answer:
used to observe small objects, even cells
Explanation:
The image of an object is magnified through at least one lens in the microscope.
Question 1: the difference is that Haploid cells are those that have only a single set of chromosomes while diploid cells have two sets of chromosomes.
Question 2: Mitosis creates diploid cells
Question 3: Meiosis creates haploid cells
