The correct answer is silicon (SiO4), oxygen (O2), iron (Fe) and magnesium (Mg).

Ferromagnesium silicates are minerals in which cations of iron and magnesium form essential chemical components on the silicate structure (contains SiO4 tetrahedra). The minerals from this group include the olivines, pyroxenes, amphiboles, and the micas biotite and phlogopite.

Answer:

Ferromagnesium silicates contain the elements:(( silicon, oxygen, iron, and magnesium))

Explanation:

Ferromagnesium silicates in which iron and magnesium form the major structure of silicates and silicon and oxygen are present in silicates.

They are dark in color because of the presence of elements like iron and magnesium.

The specific gravity of Ferromagnesium Silicates is higher as compared to non Ferromagnesium Silicates.

Examples of Ferromagnesium silicates are pyroxene, amphibole, olivine, Garnet and biotite.

Mendel observed a 9:3:3:1 ratio of offspring when studying different traits. What would he have concluded if he had observed a 3

ANTONII [103]

Answer: Mendel would have concluded that one pair of factors (genes) is responsible for two different characters in plants.

Explanation:

The 9:3:3:1 ratio observed by Mendel helped him to form his Law of Independent Assortment which states that the inheritance of one pair of factors (genes) is independent of the inheritance of the other pair.

Also from his previous studies, he obtained a 3:1 ratio for a single gene expression, flower color, which enabled to form the Law of Segregation, which states individuals possess two alleles and a parent passes only one allele to his/her offspring.

However, if he had observed a 3:1 ratio for two traits, he would have concluded that inheritance of characters occurs in pairs i.e., that a pair of alleles is responsible for two different characters in plants.
