What do ferromagnesian (mafic) minerals have in common? List three examples of mafic minerals?

1 answer:

3 0

Ferromagnesian minerals are minerals that have iron or magnesium in their structure. The greater specific gravity is between 3.2 and 3.6. Some examples are pyroxene, biotite, garnet, and olvine.

Most mafic minerals are dark in color, and common rock-forming mafic minerals include olivine, pyroxene, amphibole, and biotite. Common mafic rocks include basalt, diabase and gabbro. Mafic rocks often also contain calcium-rich varieties of plagioclase feldspar.

Epsom salts are solutes that do not pass through cell membranes. If one soaks in a hypertonic solation of Epsom salts, which of

IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

Explanation:

The net movements of water from the region of higher water potential to the region of low water potential through a selectively permeable membrane is osmosis. It is a form of diffusion which involves the transport of water molecules.

In this present scenario water molecules pass through the selectively permeable membrane from higher water potential in the body, to lower water potential but high solute potential (Epsom salts). The later is called an hypertonic solution,this is because it has higher solute potential ,thus higher salt concentration than the surrounding medium,therefore water pass by osmosis into the Epsom salts.

If one is placed in this solution,the cells shrink as they lose water to the more concentrated Epsom.(hypertonic solution)

However, the body homeostatic mechanism through the kidney ensure re-absorption of fluid back to the body from the DCT and CT, via anti diuretic hormone to preserve the cell and the person.

A female fly that has miniature wings and sepia eyes is crossed with a male that has normal wings and is homozygous for red eyes

Eduardwww [97]

Answer and Explanation:

The gene that expresses the size of the wing is X-linked. The dominant allele expresses long wings, XM, while the recessive allele expresses miniature wings, Xm.

The gene that expresses the color of the eyes is autosomal. The dominant allele expresses red color, S, and the recessive allele expresses sepia color, s.

A female fly that has miniature wings and sepia eyes (XmXm ss) is crossed with a male that has normal wings and is homozygous for red eyes (XMY SS).

The F1 are intercrossed to produce the F2.

F1) 1/2 or 50% of the progeny are females and the other 1/2 or 50% are males

100% of the females (1/2 or 50% of the progeny) are long-winged and red-eyed

100% of the males (1/2 or 50% of the progeny) are miniature.winged and red-eyed.

F2) 8/16=4/8=1/2 or 50% of the progeny are females and the other 1/2 or 50% are males

Females (8/16):

3/8 of the females are long-winged and red-eyed, XMX- S-

1/8 of the females are long-winged and sepia-eyed, XMX- ss

3/8 of the females are miniature-winged and red-eyed, XmXm S-

1/8 of the females are miniature-winged and sepia-eyed, XmXm ss

Males (8/16):

3/8 of the males are long-winged and red-eyed, XMY S-

1/8 of the males are long-winged and sepia-eyed, XMY ss

3/8 of the males are miniature-winged and red-eyed, XmY S-

1/8 of the males are miniature-winged and sepia-eyed, XmY ss

Note: The symbol "-" means that in its place might be a recessive allele or a dominant allele. For example, S- means that it might be SS or Ss.

A radiopharmaceutical that can help evaluate the wash in and wash out phase during a ventilation study is:

Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

Xenon 133

Explanation:

Xenon 133 can be used as a radiopharmaceutical for ventilation scans, images are obtained when the patient rebreathes the gas (wash-in) and then when they exhale (washout), therefore these images can be obtained in just one projection.

I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!
