Which statement best describes how minerals are different from rocks

Biology
1 answer:
densk [106]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

minerals are different from rocks because First, a rock is composed of one or more minerals and sometimes mineraloids but do not have a crystal structure.

A mineral is a chemical substance made up of one or more chemicals having a definite crystal structure. Rocks do not have a definite chemical composition whereas minerals do. Sometimes a rock may contain organic remains in it.

A mineral, on the other hand, will never have any organic material present within it. Rocks do not have a definite shape whereas minerals will usually have one. Rocks are classified as igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary.

Minerals are classified as native elements, halides, sulfides, oxides, etc. Another difference between the two is that rocks can be found abundantly on the surface of the Earth in many different regions, but minerals are not as commonly found just anywhere, making it sometimes useful for people to extract minerals from rocks.

The disease cystic fibrosis (CF) is caused by a mutation to the CFTR gene which affects the respiratory, endocrine, reproductive
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer: DF508 mutation. A Genetic, Hereditary, Autosomal and Recessive Mutation.

Explanation:

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a recessive autosomal lethal disease, it is most common on Caucasoid populations. Its diagnosis is suggested by the clinical features of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, persistent pulmonary colonization (particularly with mucoid Pseudomonas strains), meconium ileus, pancreatic insufficiency with or familiarity history of the disease. The FC gene is large, with about 250 Kb of genomic DNA, 27 exons representing about 5% of genomic DNA; encodes a 6.5 kb transcribed mRNA. This mRNA is transcribed into a protein of 1480 amino acid called CFTR (Regulator Transmembrane Conductance Cystic Fibrosis). When a three-base pair deletion, adenosine-thymine-thymine (ATT) identified in the CFTR gene, exon 10, it results in the loss of a single amino acid phenylalanine at position 508 of the protein. This mutation is called DF508; “D” stands for deletion and “F” for phenylalanine amino acid.
