Answer:

Option D, erosion, deposition, compaction, cementation

Explanation:

Sedimentary rocks are formed from the eroded soil. Therefore, erosion is the first step in formation of sedimentary rocks.  

The eroded soil or rock is carried by carrier agents such as wind, water etc. and deposited at some place where it gets compacted under its own weight. After deposition and compaction, physio-chemical processes take place to produce chemical bonding between the deposited granular particles. Chemical interactions causes cementation of the compacted material  

Hence, option D is correct

Which of the following statements about meiosis is correct? Which of the following statements about meiosis is correct? Meiosis
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

The correct answer is "Meiosis produces cells that differ genetically from the parent cell".

Explanation:

In contrast with mitosis, which is the cellular differentiation that produces somatic cells; meiosis produces cells that differ genetically from the parent cell. Meiosis is a special type of cellular differentiation that reduces the genetic material by half, and results in the creation of four haploid cells that are genetically distinct from the parent cell. Meiosis allows for the maturation of sexually reproducing cells, and the genetic variations of these cells is one factor that allows for genetic variations among sexually reproducing species, such as humans.

Which type of RNA carries a genetic code from DNA to the ribosome?
Aliun [14]

Answer:

(A). mRNA.

Explanation:

During protein synthesis, information present in DNA as triplet codons gets transferred to mRNA molecule, by the process of transcription. The mRNA than gets transported to the cytosol, where it associates with ribosomes.

Ribosomes are known as protein factories of the cells as they provide platform for translation. During translation, information present in mRNA is used to translate polypeptide chain or protein as each codon codes for a specific amino acid.

Thus, the correct answer is option (A).
