Rock is a combination of two or more minerals, and it does not possess any specific chemical composition. It is present naturally in the environment. Some examples of rocks are limestone, granite, etc.,Limestone may contain minerals like calcite and aragonite. Each mineral has a specific chemical composition with a well defined crystalline structure.

Therefore, the correct option would be a. rock as rock is the naturally occurring  solid mass made up of different types of minerals.

Which organism would have the most variation in the DNA of its offspring?
Arada [10]

The organism that would have the most variation in the DNA of its offspring is the cat (Option C). Meiosis is a type of cell division that generates more genetic variability than asexual types of reproduction.

Meiosis is a type of reductional cell division by which a parental cell produces 4 daughter cells (gametes), each containing half of the genetic material.

Animals (e.g., cats) generate gametes by meiosis which fuse during fertilization to produce new offspring.

Both amoeba and bacteria reproduce by a type of asexual reproduction called binary fission. Moreover, yeasts also reproduce asexually by a process called budding and fission.

Both asexual and sexual types of reproduction generate genetic variability by the emergence of new mutations in daughter cells.

Meiosis generates much more genetic variability than asexual types of reproduction due to two different processes:

  • Random assortment of chromosomes, which produces new allele combinations.

  • Recombination, i.e., by the exchange of genetic material (DNA) between non-sister chromatids during Prophase I.

If a solution containing
tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

Hg(NO₃)₂(aq) + Na₂SO₄(aq)   →   2NaNO₃(aq) + HgSO₄(s)

Moles of Hg(NO₃)₂ = 55.42 / 324.7 ==> 0.1707 moles

Moles of Na₂SO₄ = 16.642 / 142.04 ==> 0.1172 moles

Limiting reagent is Na₂SO₄ as it controls product formation

Moles of HgSO₄ formed = 0.1172 moles

                                        = 0.1172 x 296.65

                                        = 34.757g
