Answer:

A. inheritance and reproduction

Explanation:

These two terms are interrelated as the act of one (reproduction) gives rise to the other (inheritance). The process whereby offsprings are produced using gametes (sexual reproduction) or without gametes (asexual reproduction) from a an organism called the parent is called REPRODUCTION. Reproduction is necessary to ensure the survival of a particular species.

During reproduction, the genetic material (DNA) in form of chromosomes of an organism is passed down from parents to offsprings in a process called INHERITANCE or HEREDITY. The information needed for certain processes like growth, reproduction, survival and others are contained in the genetic material, and are transferred from the parents to their progenies.

In sexual reproduction, this biological information encoded in the genetic material is passed on via gametes produced by each parent (male and female) during meiosis.

In which type of rock would you find a large amount of silica?
____ [38]

Answer:

igneous

Explanation:

Igneous rock is the type of rock that contains a large amount of silica. Igneous rocks are formed when molten rock (magma or lava) cools and solidifies. Silica is a common component of magma, so igneous rocks are often rich in silica. Glass, which is also made from silica, is not a type of rock. Metamorphic and sedimentary rocks are formed through processes that do not involve the melting of rock, so they typically contain lower amounts of silica.
