Answer:

To test the hardness of a specimen take it and try to scratch it with the first rock in your hardness kit, Talc. If it is scratched then the rock you're testing is hardness 1. If not then try to scratch the Talc with your rock. If the rock scratches the Talc then it is harder than the Talc.

~+ lil more info +~

nstead, common objects are used as tools to perform the hardness test:

fingernail (hardness = 2.5)

copper penny (hardness = 3)

glass plate or steel knife (hardness = 5.5)

steel file (hardness = 6.5)

A normal chromosome and its homolog carrying an inversion are given. the dot (•) represents the centromere. normal: a b c • d e
kotegsom [21]

The type of inversion is Paracentric inversion.

There are two types of inversion at the chromosome level, depending on the centromere:

Paracentric inversions:

the centromere is not included in the inversion.

Pericentric inversions:

The centromere is included in the inversion which can transform a metacentric chromosome into an acrocentric chromosome.

the structure that will form during synapsis is inversion loop.

These inversions are balanced rearrangements but at the moment of meiosis they cause difficulties in pairing. There is most often formation of a pairing loop. The occurrence of recombination in the inverted segment causes the formation of abnormal gametes by duplication / impairment.

Contrast between living with parents, living alone and living with roommates
kirza4 [7]
With parents you are not alone and with people you love and chances are have free room and board. However privacy and independence may become contraindicative.

Living alone you can kiss goodbye to room and board, however you have a personal and free life.

Living with a room is the half and half, you are somewhat free and private and you don't go it alone while paying room and board.
