How does mudstone turn into metamorphic rock?

Biology
2 answers:
Stella [2.4K]2 years ago

Answer:

Option (C)

Explanation:

Sedimentary rocks are formed due to the compaction and lithification sediments. For example, mudstone, sandstone, and shale.

Metamorphic rocks are those rocks that are formed when a sedimentary/igneous/other metamorphic rocks undergo changes in the pressure and the temperature conditions. Temperature and pressure are the main factors here. For example, slate, phyllite, schist, and gneiss.

Mudstone is a sedimentary rock that can convert into a fine-grained and foliated metamorphic rock called slate due to the increase in the temperature and pressure.

Hence, the correct answer is option (C).

C is the answer.

Metamorphic rocks is when a rock changes under time and lots of pressure.

Sedimentary is rocks made of sediment.

Igneous rocks are rocks that are made of magma.

Knowing this, C is closest to the definition of metamorphic rocks.

AveGali [126]

The correct answer is option C, that is, regulate water loss.  

Guard cells refer to the cells enclosing each stomata. They assist in monitoring the rate of transpiration by closing and opening the stomata. The guard cells possess the tendency to monitor the closing and opening of stomata by changing shape. The shape of the guard cells modifies on the basis of the concentration of potassium ions and water found in the cells themselves.  

The stomatal pores get closed when carbon dioxide is no longer needed for the process of photosynthesis. The guard cells swell when movement of water takes place inside these pores, and thus, the opening of stomatal pores occurs, and as water moves out, the guard cell closes. Thus, guard cells play an essential role in regulating water loss.

The crossing of a hybrid and a dominant purebred will always result in offspring which are what?
inn [45]

Answer:

Dominant

Explanation:

A hybrid trait is also known as heterozygous, which is the combination of the dominant and recessive alleles of a gene. On the other hand, a purebred is combination of the same two dominant alleles or the same two recessive alleles. For example, in the gene coding for height, allele for tallness (T) is dominant over the allele for shortness (t).

A purebred for this trait will either be "TT" or "tt" while a heterozygous or hybrid will be Tt. Hence, according to this question, crossing of a hybrid (Tt) and a dominant purebred (TT) will always result in offspring which are DOMINANT (see attached image).

Which statement about positive feedback regulation is accurate?
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

Answer is B. Positive feedback regulation can generate an abrupt, all-or-none response in which the cell moves from ignoring a signal to responding to it very strongly.

Explanation:

Positive feedback can be described as an example of feedback, which is a natural mechanism that amplifies the action of a system.

It can be better be explained further, as a situation whereby the blood pressure decreases and the response of the body also makes or causes the blood pressure to decrease the more.

Other examples of a positive feedback also include blood clotting, ripening of fruits , uterus muscle contraction, resulting to the stretching of the uterus during pregnancy.

Name some of the traits mendel studied with his pea plants.
Scorpion4ik [409]
Gregor Mendel was an important scientist, considered to be the founder of the science of genetics. His experiments on the crossbreeding of plants and the passing down of favourable traits, led him to establish the laws of Mendelian inheritance. He was using pea plants for his experiments and he was studying seven different pea traits: pea shape and color, pod shape and color, flower color, plant size and position of flowers.
