Answer:

They main difference is in chemical composition and particle size. Silt is composed of silicate minerals, or those containing silicon and oxygen. Clay is composed of metal silicates, or silicates with metals like magnesium or aluminum associated with it.Clay particles are extremely fine — smaller than 0.002 mm. Sand particles are 2.00 to 0.05 mm in diameter

Explanation: Basically, the main difference is their size.

Answer:

One of the major differences between the three are the diameters and how they feel.

Sand :2.00 to 0.05 mm in diameter, and rough

Slit: 0.05 to 0.002mm, somewhat soft (comparable to flour)

Clay: Smaller than 0.002mm, very fine

Check Your Understanding Question: What is an adaptation?

AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

an adaptation can be defined as an inherited trait which confers an evolutionary advantage to the organism in a certain environment

Explanation:

An adaptation, also known as an evolutionary adaptation, can be defined as any physiological and/or morphological inherited trait related to the improved evolutionary fitness of one organism in a particular environment. An adaptation improves the chances of survival and reproduction in a certain environment, thereby organisms carrying the adaptation have more chances to produce descendants and pass their genes to the next generation. Some classical examples of evolutionary adaptations include the long necks of giraffes that help them to eat leaves at the top of trees, light bones of flying birds, etc.

This table shows the codons found in messenger RNA (attached). Using this information, what sequence of nucleotides in the templ

Rashid [163]

Answer:

Explanation:

The correct answer would be option A - GUA-CAU-ACC

Looking at the table of codons, for the amino acid Val, the first base (which is on the 1st column in the 6th row) is G while the second base (2nd column, 2nd row) is U. The third column can be any of U, C, A, or G (6th column, 4th row). Hence, GUA is plausible

For the amino acid His, the first base is C (1st column, 2nd row), the second is A (4th column, 4th row) while the last could be any of the 4 bases. Hence, CAU is plausible.

For the amino acid Thr, the first base is A (first column, 5th row), the second is C (3rd column, 2nd row) while the 3rth could be any of the 4 nucleotide bases. Hence, ACC is plausible.

Therefore, the correct sequence of nucleotides for Val-His_Thr would be GUA-CAU-ACC
