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

Outer hair cells near the center of the basilar membrane will
Likurg_2 [28]

The answer is outer hair cells can be seen near the center of the basilar membrane where the hightest vibration takes place.  The basilar membrane can be seen under the inner hair cells, the movement of stereocilia and the resulting modulation of their ionic currents is likely to be greater for outer hair cells than for inner hair cells.

Which of the following statements is true?
Paraphin [41]

Functionality of Genes and chromosomes is described below.

Explanation:

  • Genes are segments of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) that contain the code for a specific protein that functions in one or more types of cells in the body. Chromosomes are structures within cells that contain a person's genes.
  • Genes are contained in chromosomes, which are in the cell nucleus.
  • A chromosome contains hundreds to thousands of genes.Every normal human cell contains 23 pairs of chromosomes, for a total of 46 chromosomes.
  • A trait is any gene-determined characteristic and is often determined by more than one gene.Some traits are caused by mutated genes that are inherited or that are the result of a new gene mutation.
  • The body produces thousands of different enzymes. Thus, the entire structure and function of the body is governed by the types and amounts of proteins the body synthesizes. Protein synthesis is controlled by genes, which are contained on chromosomes.
  • the genotype is a complete set of instructions on how that person’s body synthesizes proteins and thus how that body is supposed to be built and function.
  • The phenotype is the actual structure and function of a person’s body. The phenotype is how the genotype manifests in a person—not all the instructions in the genotype may be carried out (or expressed). Whether and how a gene is expressed is determined not only by the genotype but also by the environment (including illnesses and diet) and other factors, some of which are unknown.
  • A karyotype is a picture of the full set of chromosomes in a person’s cells.
