Granite is a type of intrusive igneous rock
Explanation:
An igneous rock formed from hot magma or lava cools, solidifies or crystallizes to form rocks.
Based on the rate of cooling of magma, igneous rocks can either be intrusive or extrusive.
A slow cooling of the magma deep within the earth without reaching the surface of the volcano leads to the production of intrusive igneous rocks.
This slow cooling leads to crystallization forming large crystals visible to the eyes with a phaneritic texture.
Granite has the best phaneritic texture among intrusive igneous rocks. Granite crystals can be easily visualized and are constituted by minerals like white feldspar, black hornblende, translucent quartz, and platy black biotite.
Extrusive igneous rocks like basalt are formed from microscopic crystals from fast cooling of magma.
D. mRNA is synthesized from a strand of DNA.
Transcription, hence the root script, means to write. This is the creation of the mRNA "messenger" information.
Answer:
Option-C
Explanation:
Scientists found a fossil of a fish with four limbs or legs. The fossil was estimated to be around 375 million years old.
The fossil showed the fins and scales of a fish but they also possess the bones of proto-wrist, shoulders and the elbow.
The presence of these bones can be a clue that the fish evolved the limbs to walk on the land and will later evolve into animals belonging to amphibians, reptiles and mammals. Therefore, the Tiktaalik is considered the missing link of how life evolved from water to land.
Thus, Option-C is correct.
Answer:
texture
Explanation:
Elements have been classified into three categories namely; metals, non-metals and metalloids. This classification was done based on certain characteristics or properties possessed by each element. Some of the characteristics used are: lustre, malleability, conductivity, melting point, boiling point etc.
- Metals are very good conductors of heat and electricity whereas metalloids and nonmetals are not.
- Metals and metalloids shine when polished i.e. they are lustrous, whereas nonmetals don't
- Metals are malleable i.e. can be beaten into sheets.
Texture is not a property used to classify metals and metalloids.
<u>Answer:</u>
<em>A plasma membrane is the cellular structure that makes it possible for a cell to differ structurally and biochemically from its surroundings. </em>
<u>Explanation:</u>
<em>Plasma membrane</em> is the surrounding of all the cells. The function of plasma membrane in a cell is to regulate the incoming and outgoing elements from the cell.
<em>Phospholipid bilayer</em> is the main composition of plasma membrane. It makes the cell different from each other structurally as well as makes the cell different in <em>chemical composition </em>too.
