This rock can be classified as: an igneous rock.

Igneous rocks are made up of randomly arranged interlocking crystals and the important minerals that can be found in igneous rocks are feldspars, quartz, olivines, pyroxenes, amphiboles, and mafic minerals. All of these minerals are important in the formation of almost all igneous rocks, and they are basic to their classification.

A rock sample has a mass of 16 grams and a volume of 8 cubic centimeters. When the rock is cut in half, what is the volume and d
spayn [35]

Answer:

Volume= 4 cm³

Density= 2 g/cm³

Explanation:

We have the following data:

volume= V= 8 cm³

mass= m= 16 g

The density is the mass per volume of a substance, so the density of the rock is:

density= d= 16 g/8 cm³= 2 g/cm³

When we cut the rock in half, we have a half volume and a half mass:

V= 8 cm³/2= 4 cm³

m= 16 g/2= 8 g

But the density is not altered because it is an intrisic property - it does not change with the amount of subtance. Thus, the density of a half rock is:

d = m/V= 8 g/4 cm³= 2 g/cm³

Which of the proposed models for the mechanism of initial transcription suggests that the entire RNA polymerase enzyme moves alo
Degger [83]

Answer:

The right answer is Letter A

Explanation:

The proposed model for the mechanism of initial transcription that suggests the entire RNA polymerase enzyme moves along the DNA is <em>transient-excursion model</em>, and the proposed model that is best supported by experimental findings is<em> scrunching model.</em>

<em>Because RNA polymerase leaves the promoter, translocate a short way along DNA template, synthesizes a short transcript before aborting transcript, releasing the transcript and returning to its original location on promoter. That is the transient-excursion model.</em>

<em>The scrunching model downstream DNA is pulled into the enzyme and has accumulated within the enzyme as single stranded bulges.</em>

<em>Experiments show that scrunching is right, experiments using single molecule analyses that allow the positions of different parts of polymerase to be measured relative to each other and to the template DNA during transcription.</em>

A layer of sediment goes through a series of steps on its way to becoming sedimentary rock. These steps are summarized below. Re
dedylja [7]
I think it should go:

1)Dissolved minerals
completely cement
the sediment together.

2)The sediment is
gradually buried
and compacted.

3)The sediment is
deposited by wind,
flowing water, or
other natural
processes.

i hope it’s correct and i helped :)!

Suppose a human blood cell containing a 0.9 percent solute concentration were put into a container of 0 percent solute solution
Vladimir [108]

Answer and explanation:

If a human blood cell with a 0.9% solute concentration were to be put into a container of 0% solute solution, the cell would get BIGGER.

<u>The cell contains a </u><u>more concentrated solution</u><u> than the solution in the container</u>. The difference in concentration would produce an <em>osmotic gradient</em> that would cause water from the container to get inside the cell to even the concentrations - this is going to make the cell much bigger because the entering water would bloat the cell.

In this example, the solution in the container is hypotonic in relation to the cell, while the solution inside the cell is hypertonic in relation to the solution in the container. This is why the water will be moving from outside of the cell to the inside of the cell.

Match each definition to the appropriate term. locus
liraira [26]
I) Locus- the chromosomal site where a specific gene is located. A locus is a fixed position on a chromosome, like the position of a gene or a marker. Each chromosome carries ,many genes; human's estimated haploid (n) protein coding genes are about 20,000, on the 23 different chromosomes.


ii) Interference; the observed double crossover frequency differs from the expected double crossover frequency. Cross over interference is used to refer to the non-random placement of crossovers with respect to each other during meiosis. It results in widely spaced crossovers along chromosomes. Interference may exert its effect across whole chromosomes. As chromosomes in many eukaryotes are large, interference must be able to act over megabase lengths of DNA. 

iii) Linkage- the tendency for genes located in close proximity on the same chromosome to be inherited together. Normally when two genes are close together on the same chromosome, they do not assort independently and are said to be linked. Whereas genes located on different chromosomes assort independently and have a recombination frequency of 50%, linked genes have a recombination frequency that is less than 50%.

iv) Recombination- the process by which a new pattern of alleles on a chromosome is generated. Genetic recombination is the production of offspring with combinations f traits that differ from those found in either parent. During meiosis in eukaryotes, genetic recombination involves the pairing of homologous chromosomes. This may be followed by information transfer between the chromosomes.
