Answer:
Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) hold the hereditary material that acts as a blueprint for the development and functioning of life process on the earth. It is a blueprint for every cell in every organism.
Its major function is to encode the DNA sequence of amino acid by using the triplet genetic code that code for a specific protein that perform a specific function in the body that are necessary for the normal function of the life processes.
The following tests can determine the mineral in a rock specimen:
1. How does the rock crumble or split under pressure?
2. What is the texture of the rock?
3. Observing it under a magnifying lens.
4. Determine the color of the rock
Test 1 and 3 determines if the rock is granular and the types of grains in the rock. Test 3 also determines if the rock has layers hence sedimentary rock.
Determining whether color of the rock is dark or light also helps identify the mineral and type of rock.
