6. Why do some minerals grow into large, well-defined crystals while others do not?

Biology

Answer:

Mineral crystals that form when magma cools slowly are larger than crystals that form when lava cools rapidly. Minerals form when rocks are heated enough that atoms of different elements can move around and join into different molecules.

Tall height is dominant to short height in pea plants. You have a tall pea plant that you cross with a short pea plant. What is
zheka24 [161]

Answer:

The tall parent was heterozygous

Explanation:

If tall height is dominant to short height the only genotype possible for short height is hh, while there are two possible genotypes for tall height, Hh and HH. When HH is crossed with hh all the offspring are Hh, but if Hh is crossed with hh, a quarter of the offspring is HH, a quarter is hh and half is Hh. If the tall pea plants were HH there would only be tall offspring, but because there are some short offspring we know that the tall pea plants must have a genotype of Hh.

Which of the following supports the idea that the genetic code is common to all living things? All living things have -
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

The statement that supports the idea that the genetic code is common to all living things is All living things have genes that use the same nitrogenous bases (choice B).

Explanation:

All living organisms possess DNA, a nucleic acid molecule that contains all the genetic information of living beings.  This information is transcribed into mRNA, where it becomes the genetic code that determines the synthesis of biomolecules, such as proteins.

The DNA molecule is made up of sequences of four nitrogenous bases: adenine, guanine, thymine and cytosine. <u>These nitrogenous bases are common in the DNA of all living organisms</u>.

Since genes consist of DNA fragments, with specific sequences of the same nitrogenous bases, then it is true to state that all living things have genes that use the same nitrogenous bases.

The other options are not correct because:

<em>     A. Living organisms have different ways of reproduction. </em>

<em>     C. The way living things use energy is different, and there is no evidence that the genetic code is common to all of them. </em>

<em>     D. The way organisms adapt is not supported by the fact that they possess a common genetic code.</em>
