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

Marfan syndrome is a dominant trait. A cross between a homozygous dominant and a heterozygote would produce what phenotypic rati
umka2103 [35]

Answer:

The correct answer is- 4:0

Explanation:

Marfan syndrome is a genetic problem which affects the connective tissue in the body. The trait for this disease is autosomal dominant which means even one abnormal copy of this gene in the offspring or individual is sufficient to cause this syndrome.

Let S is the allele that is dominant for this syndrome and s is recessive. So if a cross between homozygous dominant(SS) and heterozygous individual (Ss) occurs than all the offspring would have this syndrome.  

                                   S      s

                              S  SS   Ss

                              S  SS   Ss

Therefore all 4 offspring would have at least one dominant allele which is sufficient to cause this syndrome. So the phenotype ratio would be 4:0.
