Explanation:

During metamorphism, pressure and temperature, a times fluids causes the mineral composition and texture of a parent rock to change.

Texture is the arrangement and orientation of mineral grains in a rock.

  • Rocks that are made up of single mineral phase rarely undergo compositional changes.
  • Rocks like quartz sandstone and limestone do not change minerals.
  • In limestone, the mineral calcite is dominant. Since there are no other minerals to combine with, it's composition does not change.
  • But a metamorposed limestone undergoes changes in texture.
  • The searing heat and pressure causes the grains to recrystallized, they interlock to form a granular pattern.

a black rooster Mated with a white hen. based on genotypes, the chance that the offspring will be checkered is 100 percent. what
gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

The genotypes of the rooster and the chicken are homozygous and that of their offspring is heterozygous.

This case is called codominance, where the offspring receives an allele from each parent, from the rooster and the hen, because there is codominance, so neither allele is recessive and the phenotype of both alleles is expressed so the phenotype of the offspring is checkered.

We can say then that the chicken and the rooster have equal strength between their alleles. in the cases of codominance the laws of mendel do not apply.

Why algae in the ocean can have a very high NPP and a very low amount of stored biomass
USPshnik [31]
The algae in the ocean have a very high Net Primary Productivity (NPP) and a very low amount of store biomass. This is because THE GROWTH RATE OF ALGAE IN THE OCEAN IS HIGH. The store biomass is low because THE PRIMARY CONSUMERS FEED ON THESE ALGAE THUS LOWERING THE BIOMASS AMOUNT. The production of biomass is related to the NPP.
