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

Suppose scientists determine that a set of genes is significantly more prevalent in murderers than in the population at large. W
forsale [732]

Answer:

No

Explanation:

<u>That a gene is common to all murderers in the population does not mean that murderers are not at fault for their crimes. </u>

<em>Having a gene that correlates with murder just gives one a genetic tendency but the environment and personal choice still have to influence the decision to commit the crime. In other words, one might have the genetic tendency to commit murder but still has to be environmentally enabled and the ability to choose to either do it or otherwise. Nature, nurture, and personal choice would have to synergistically work together for the phenotypic expression of such a gene. </em>
