Answer:

Hardness of a mineral is defined as the resistance to breaking, and density is defined as the mass of a substance per unit volume.

The density and hardness of a mineral, that is formed from through metamorphism are relatively much harder because the metamorphic minerals are formed under extremely high temperature and pressure conditions. These are high-grade minerals.

On the other hand, the density and hardness of a mineral formed through evaporation are much weaker in nature, because these minerals are formed when the water is eliminated due to the high rate of evaporation.

So, it can be concluded that the density and hardness of as mineral formed through the metamorphic process is highly stronger and harder than those that are formed through evaporation.

natali 33 [55]
The element starts off as 100%. half of 100% is 50% and half of 50% is 25%. the element has emitted 2 times the half life which is 10,000 x 2 = 20,000

the fossil bone is 20,000 years old

Answer:

Please find what occurs in the single nucleotide-pair substitution below

Explanation:

Single nucleotide-pair substitution is a type of point mutation as stated in this question. Point mutation is when one nucleotide base (single) is affected in the sequence. In this single nucleotide-pair substitution, ONE nucleotide base is substituted by another base.

For example, in a DNA sequence that reads: TAA GTC GGG, a mutated sequence affected by single nucleotide-pair substitution will read as follows: TAA GTC TGG. Note that in the last codon (GGG), a single nucleotide G has been replaced by another nucleotide T. Therefore, single nucleotide-pair substitution is said to have occur.
