What can crystalize size tell us about where an igneous rock formed?

Biology
1 answer:
sergejj [24]3 years ago
4 0

Explanation:

The size of crystals in igneous rocks can tell us about the physical environment under which the rock formed.

Igneous rocks are rocks that are derived from molten magma formed within the crust.

  • When large crystals are formed, it suggests that the magma has cooled slowly without any disturbance. Slow cooling of magma makes minerals to surround nucleation centers easily an take their time to form.
  • When small crystals are formed, we can infer that cooling was rapid. Magma had to cool rapidly and several nucleation centers resulted.
  • Large crystals in rocks are usually produced deep beneath the earth crust forming a rock type known as plutonic igneous rocks.
  • Those with small crystals that forms on the surface are called extrusive or volcanic igneous rocks.

) Consider a pea plant- it has a gene controlling seed color- yellow Vs green; another gene controlling seed texture-smooth Vs w
lana [24]

Answer:

Yellow smooth  - 9

Yellow wrinkle - 3

Green smooth- 3

Green Wrinkle - 1

Explanation:

Let the green color of the seed be depicted by "G" and the yellow color of the seed be depicted by "g"

Let the smooth the seed be depicted by "R" and wrinkled seed be depicted by "r"

F1 cross -  

true breeding smooth green plant ( RRGG) and true breeding wrinkled yellow (rrgg)

F1 gamete will be RG, RG, rg, rg

F1 offspring will be RrGg , Thus all F1 offspring will be heterozygous smooth and yellow.  

Thus,  R is dominant over r and g is dominant over G

F2 Generation –  

RrGg x RrGg

Gametes will be RG, Rg, rG, rg

RG         Rg          rG           rg

RG RRGG RRGg RrGG RrGg

Rg RRGg RRgg RrGg Rrgg

rG RrGG RrGg rrGG rrGg

rg RrGg Rrgg rrGg rrgg

R is dominant over r and g is dominant over G

Genotypes are –  

RRGG - 1  (Smooth Green)

RRGg-2  (Smooth yellow)

RrGG-2  (Smooth Green)

RrGg-4  (Smooth yellow)

RRgg- 1  (smooth yellow)

Rrgg – 2  (Smooth yellow)

rrGG – 1  (wrinkled Green)

rrGg – 2  (Wrinkled yellow)

rrgg – 1  (wrinkled yellow)

Yellow smooth  - 9

Yellow wrinkle - 3

Green smooth- 3

Green Wrinkle - 1
