The answer is.... B) gold because oil, natural gas, and diamonds are all formed by a massive amount of pressure on organic (carbon) molecules. Gold is a element and it is not formed within the Earth. Gold was produced by fusion within stars billions of years ago.

The correct answer is: B) gold.

Oil, diamonds, and natural gas all form over time under significant sustained increased soil pressure. Gold's formation, however, is not due to pressure. Gold is already present in soil and must be mined in deeper layers.

Reptile [31]
The answer is <span>The name includes the genus and species.

</span>In binomial nomenclature, the name of the species consists of two (Greek: bi-) word. The first word indicates the genus classification of an organism and the second word indicates the species within a genus. For example, Latin name for a white oak is Quercus alba. The first word indicates that the species belongs to the genus Quercus. The second word 'alba' indicates the name of the species within the genus Quercus.

What must occur for a message to be sent from the outside of the cell to
Yakvenalex [24]

A receptor is located on a cell membrane. Any neuronic transmission, hormone, etc. that cannot get inside of the cell's membrane will sit on the receptor in order to pass its message along to the cell. When the molecule sits on the receptor, it causes a series of reactions to occur inside of the cell. From the series of reactions that occur inside of the cell, the message is passed along, and the cell will perform as indicated by the molecule on the cell receptor.

arsen [322]
The most abundant element in the atmosphere can also be is nitrogen since nitrogen gas accounts for about 78% of the atmospheric gases. Beans and whey protein are, of course, high in protein, and a fundamental component of proteins at the molecular level is a nitrogen-containing group called an amine group.

Imagine that five hypothetical genes are arranged on a chromosome in the following order: G--H--I--J--K. Which two genes are mos
andrezito [222]

Answer:

G and K

Explanation:

Crossing-over is a genetic phenomenon that occurs in meiosis, specifically, Prophase I. It is when chromosomal segment (genes) are exchanged between non-sister chromatids of homologous chromosomes. Crossing-over occurs only to genes that are UNLINKED i.e. genes located on different chromosomes or far apart on the same chromosome.

This unlinked genes are said to have the highest RECOMBINATION FREQUENCY. Crossing-over allows genes on the same chromosome but far apart from each other, assort independently, which allows alleles to be recombined on the same chromosome. This phenomenon does not occur to genes that are close on the same chromosome as they will be inherited together as a unit.

In this case, G and K are the farthest apart, hence, they will have the highest RECOMBINATION FREQUENCY i.e. the likelihood for homologous crossing-over to take place during meiosis.
