Answer: fracture

Explanation:

Minerals are formed by crystallization from magmatic liquids or thermal solutions, by solid-state recrystallization and further, as the product of chemical reactions between solids and liquids. Fracture: When minerals do not break flat but according to an uneven surface. The types of fracture can be classified into:

• Conchoidal: when the mineral breaks, leaving curved marks similar to the growth lines of shells. Ex: quartz.

• Irregular: When the mineral breaks randomly, forming rough and uneven surfaces. Ex: tourmaline.

• Fibrous: when the mineral breaks down in the form of fibers. Ex: chrysotile.

• Serrated: when the mineral breaks up according to a jagged surface with sharp edges. Ex: gold.

Nastasia [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Scientific Research is a method used in the construction and testing of a scientific hypothesis.

It has six steps that can be used in solving questions ask or observations made which is A family wants to test the effectiveness of a misting shower head in conserving (saving) water compared to their regular shower head.

Steps to follow:

Make an observation: An observation would be made on how water is been used in the house and how it can be conserved, this observation is what brings about the question asked

Ask a question : The question is

which is more effective in conserving water a misting shower head or regular shower.

Form a hypothesis, or testable explanation: An hypothesis is formulated for the question asked

Example: Null hypothesis: Mistling shower conserves more water than shower head

Alternative: Mistling shower conserves less water that normal shower.

Make a prediction based on the hypothesis: Predictions are made on what could be the cause if there is indeed a difference and what could cause the difference

Test the prediction: An experiment is conducted to test the hypothesis if indeed Mistling is better than normal shower, the appropriate method is determined to be used for the experiment.

Iterate: The result gotten helps to butters our hypothesis if its to be acceoted or rejected. If rejected further research can be conducted on the effectiveness of normal shower in conserving water.

I NEED HELP WITH A QUICK BIOLOGY QUESTION!
mylen [45]

Answer:

The correct answer is Each nucleotide is connected to three nitrogenous bases.

  • Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a genetic material composed of nucleotides.
  • Each nucleotide is made up of three elements: a phosphate group, a sugar group (deoxy ribose), and a nitrogenous base.
  • There are four types of nitrogenous bases found in the DNA : adenine (A), guanine (G), thymine (T), and cytosine (C).
  • Phosphate binds to a sugar group with the help of ester bond and sugar binds to a nitrogenous base with the help of glycosidic bond.
  • Nucleotides bind with each other with the help of phospodiester bond to form the polynucleotide chain.
  • The two nucleotide chains are held together with the help of hydrogen bonding between nitrogenous bases of two strands. They form the double helical structure of the DNA.
  • The two strands lei in anti-parallel orientation.
  • It is also important to note that adenine always binds with thymine with the help of two hydrogen bonds and guanine always binds with cytosine with the help of three hydrogen bonds.
