<u>Answer</u>:

  1. Quartzite - sandstone
  2. Marble - limestone
  3. Slate - shale

<u>Explanation</u>:

  • <em>Metamorphic</em> rocks are named after the term metamorphism, which means 'to change'. These rocks are called so because they change from one form to another due to several external factors.
  • <em>Parent rocks</em> are the original rocks from which the metamorphic rocks are formed after undergoing changes.
  • Sandstone, limestone, and shale are all sedimentary rocks which change their form due to high heat, pressure, temperature, and chemical activity and form their respective metamorphic rocks.
  • Thus, <em>sandstone, limestone, and shale are parent rocks and quartzite, marble and slate are the respective metamorphic rocks formed from them.</em>

Approximately how much of an organism's genetic material is contributed by its mother?
gavmur [86]
<span>About 50%

   Both the mother and father contribute about the same amount of genetic material to their offspring, but it's not quite 50/50. Taking humans as an example, both parents contribute the same amount of genetic material for 22 of the 23 chromosome pairs, but the 23rd pair that determines gender (the X and Y chromosomes) are of different size. So for female children, both parents contribute about the same amount, but for male children, the mother contributes a larger portion since the X chromosome is quite a bit larger than the Y chromosome from the father. Another area in which the contribution differs is the mitochondrial DNA which is contributed solely by the mother. For mammals, this is about 1% of the total genetic material.</span>
