Granite is a type of intrusive igneous rock

Explanation:

An igneous rock formed from hot magma or lava cools, solidifies or crystallizes to form rocks.

Based on the rate of cooling of magma, igneous rocks can either be intrusive or extrusive.  

A slow cooling of the magma deep within the earth without reaching the surface of the volcano leads to the production of intrusive igneous rocks.

This slow cooling leads to crystallization forming large crystals visible to the eyes with a phaneritic texture.

Granite has the best phaneritic texture among intrusive igneous rocks. Granite crystals can be easily visualized and are constituted by minerals like white feldspar, black hornblende, translucent quartz, and platy black biotite.

Extrusive igneous rocks like basalt are formed from microscopic crystals from fast cooling of magma.

Which of the following is the function of nucleic acids?
slega [8]

Answer:

B. Carry heredity information

Explanation:

Nucleic acids are one of the four types of biological molecules in nature. The other three being: proteins, carbohydrates, lipids. Nucleic acids consists of Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and Ribonucleic acid (RNA).

DNA is a nucleic acid found in the NUCLEUS of eukaryotic cells or nucleoid region of prokaryotic cells where it functions to store or hold genetic information for the cell. On the other hand, RNA functions to carry the stored information in order to be expressed. Hence, according to this question, the nucleic acid functions to carry heredity information.
