The correct answer is - quartz.
The quartz is a light colored, transparent mineral, with hardness of seven, and is characteristic that instead of cleaves it has fractures. This mineral is composed of silicon and oxygen atoms, which make a tetrahedral structure. It is the second most abundant mineral in the Earth's crust, just after the feldspar.
Answer:
B. Increased fertility of the land downstream
Explanation:
Dams are constructed across river to prevent water flow they conserve water for human use.
It has both advantages and disadvantages.
Dam are expensive to construct
Dam are used in generating hydropower, for supply of water for domestic use, irrigation,industrial use.
Dams detract from natural settings, ruin nature’s work
Dams leads to extinction of natural habitat, It could result in flood due to over flow, it leads to migration of people out of there homes due to it construction. Construction of dam is unlikely to increase fertility downstream.
Answer:
b
Explanation:
<em>Let the wild type trait, the silver-white, be represented by </em><em>A</em><em> allele and the mutant trait, the golden color, be represented by </em><em>a</em><em> allele.</em>
Heterozygous wild-type male fish would be Aa
Golden female fish would be aa
Aa x aa
Aa Aa aa aa
2/4 Aa = silver-white
2/4 aa = golden color
<em>Hence, the percent likelihood of golden offspring is </em><em>2/4 or 50%.</em>
The correct option is b.
Answer:
The skeletal muscle fibres are of two types namely slow-twitch muscle fibres (type I muscle fibre) and fast-twitch muscle fibre (type II muscle fibre).
The slow fibres are slow contracting and help in developing endurance such as long distance running, maintaining posture etc whereas fast fibres are fast contracting and help in movements which require force such as sprinting etc.
Other differences are summarized in a tabular form attached below.
