Answer: Incomplete

"Check all that apply. porosity, moisture, temperature, mineral, softness, or ease of dissolving"

<em>From the options, the three answers are </em><u><em>mineral composition,</em></u><em> </em><u><em>ease of dissolving</em></u><em> and p</em>

Explanation:

Weathering is the phenomenon in which surface of rocks are broken down and leaches or washed away.

The factors that affect the rock type and rate of weathering of said rock include:

  1. Composition: this translates to the <u>mineral composition </u>in the rock and how susceptible to chemical weathering reaction
  2. Surface area and porosity: Surface <u>porosity </u>determines how easily the rock can be leached by wind or rain.
  3. Climate: Mechanical weathering due to extreme climate change can cause freezing and thawing of the rocks, thereby enhancing disintegration of the rock. This is determined by the <u>ease of dissolving </u>of the rock.

How many and what are the processes that seed plants use to reproduce.
Luba_88 [7]
Plants reproduce through the process of fertilisation. Fertilisation is the process where female and male cells join together to form an embryo inside the seed. The seed protects the embryo in preparation for germination when conditions permit the plant to produce new plants.

Seed plants are classified into two types to determine reproduction. First are the Angiosperms, this type of seed plant has flowers that have special structures for reproduction. Pollens are made by male cells, while ovules are made by female cells. Pollens are carried out through the process of pollination (e.g. wind blows, insects carrying pollen). Most angiosperms that don’t undergo pollination develop intro fruits. If it goes into pollination they become new flowering plants.

Second classification is the Gymnosperms, which are seed plants that are held in cones. Gymnosperms like Angiosperms also have male and female reproductive cells. Reproduction also occurs through pollination but most gymnosperms are trees. The best example of a gymnosperm are pine cones.  </span>

Anna11 [10]

Chromosomes are composed of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) mole

There are mainly two molecules that function as genetic material in living organisms.

These are ribonucleic acid(RNA) and deoxyribonucleic acid(DNA).

The organisms having DNA as genetic material require packaging of DNA as it is a long polymer of deoxyribonucleotides.

In the case of human beings, the length of DNA in a cell is approximately 2.2 meters which is very large as compared to the size of the nucleus( approximately 10^-6 meters).

So, the DNA has to be made compact for it to be present inside the nucleus of a cell.

Therefore, the DNA present inside the nucleus of a cell undergoes coiling and compaction through several stages before finally becoming a chromosome, which is shown in the adjoining diagram.

Thus, chromosomes are composed of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) molecules.

alexgriva [62]
Because of symptoms and age, we would consider some diagnosis of bronchitis due to RSV infection, pneumonia because of Haemophilus influenza infections, and pertussis infection including apnea. Here I can say the answer is pneumonia due to infection of Haemophilus influenza.
The kind of treatment we can give depending on my diagnosis are; high dosage of oral erythromycin to clear the infection bacteria, supportive therapies in hospital in order to maintain blood oxygen levels and in open airways, low dosage of erythromycin which is given intravenously to clear the infection of bacteria which I can say it is the best treatment.
Some of the treatment for the infant to diminish such infection chances are MMR vaccines, toxin antiserum DTaP vaccine, influenza shot which I can recommend for the infant.
The best reason I can say about these conditions and symptoms are associated with pneumonia whereby we can say the low dose of erythromycin which is given intravenously is effective. The best prophylactic treatment is influenza shots.
