Suppose while walking along the beach, you find a green crystal. Which properties could you use to determine whether the crystal

is an emerald? Explain your reasoning.

1 answer:
Drupady [299]3 years ago
3 0

Answer: color, cleavage, clarity, durability, and crystal system

Explanation: color - distinctly green color that ranges between bluish green and slightly yellowish green.

cleavage - one direction of imperfect cleavage

clarity - almost every natural emerald has eye-visible characteristics that can be inclusions, surface-reaching fractures, or healed fractures. Treatments to fill the fractures with oils, waxes, polymers, flux and other materials to reduce their visibility has been common practice for hundreds of years.

durability - emerald is very hard, but almost all specimens have inclusions and surface-reaching fractures that compromise their durability

crystal system - hexagonal

Generalized anxiety tends to initially arise during the mid-teens through the mid-20s.

<span>Anxiety disorders are the most common mental illness in the U.S., affecting 40 million adults in the United States age 18 and older. </span>Generalized anxiety disorder tends to occur with other anxiety disorders and with depression. Because the comorbidity is so high, researchers believe that many of the factors involved in predicting anxiety disorders, in general, are particularly important for understanding Generalized anxiety disorder.

The chromosomal mutation in the zygote can be traced back to which of the following? (4.3, 4.4)Immersive Reader
lawyer [7]

The chromosomal mutation in the zygote can be traced back to "Chromosome 6 in the egg cell".

<u>Option: B</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

In germ cells i.e. egg or sperm cells, the mutations in chromosome often happen during the meiosis phase. The number of chromosomes in egg cells or sperm cells must be haploid, so that diploid chromosomes form zygote on fertilization. Chromosome mutation in meiosis leads in an additional set of chromosomes or structural defects in the chromosome.

Chromosomal mutations are often caused by chemical agents or by mutagens. The homologous chromosomes are segregated from sister chromatids throughout cell division, any abnormality at this point allows the chromosomes to be unequally divided or not disjuncted, same is observed in the situation seen in egg cell chromosome 6.

Answer:

Your answer would be a autosomal dominant disorder.

____________________________________________________

Definition:

Autosomal Dominant Disorder:

A disorder in which could pass a disease from generations and on. In other words, future generations "inherit" the disease

____________________________________________________

Explanation:

The reason why "autosomal dominant disorder" is the correct answer because when a disease has been going on for many generations, this would be known as an autosomal dominant disorder, or ADD. What this means is that a person could have a mutant gene in them, also having a normal gene that is paired with  autosomal chromosomes. These diseases are inherited from a off spring that could take the disease and pass it on to their off springs, which would go on for generations due to the fact that it is a "dominant" trait. This is similar to the autosomal recessive disorder, but the autosomal recessive disorder needs two mutant genes in them, meaning that there is a less likely chance of getting the disease passed on to the off spring. The autosomal dominant disorder only needs one mutant gene in order to be effective during the inheritance for a offspring.
