 Best Answer

Sediments can be deposited by wind or water but water moves most. 
Loess is wind deposited particles. Alluvium is water deposited soil. 
The particles are one part but the place they settle impacts how they become rock because the geologic process will be different at the bottom of a deep marine sea than it is in a shallow off shore shelf. 

Only the very smallest particles will be moved to mid-ocean but there will be many plankton and other organic deposits. 

Coastal particles will vary in sizes . Water temperature will have more impact on the organic contributions here. Shallow tropical waters have coral and can form limestone.

In humans, methylation of chromosomal DNA is a signal that often leads to
Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-formation of heterochromatin

Explanation:

Methylation of DNA is the epigenetic mechanism which controls the expression of a gene by adding a methyl group to the cytosine bases in eukaryotic DNA.

The methylation of DNA converts the cytosine residues to the  5-methylcytosine catalysed by DNA methyltransferase enzyme. This results in the silencing of the gene and transcription get switched off.

Studies have shown that DNA methylation is involved in the formation and maintenance of the heterochromatin structure which is the condensed form of the chromatin in which transcription is switched off.

Thus, the formation of heterochromatin is the correct answer.

Explain the bone structure<br>​
AveGali [126]

Bones are organs composed of hard living tissue providing structural support to the body – it's scaffolding. It is a hard matrix of calcium salts deposited around protein fibers. Minerals make bone rigid and proteins (collagen) provide strength and elasticity. ... The outer layer of bone is called Cortical bone.
