Cells in a cell culture all have the same genetic material because they are A. vectors B. plasmids C. hybrids D. clones?
Cells in a cell culture of similar genetic material are called clones. vectors can be the carriers of viruses . Plasmids are the extrachromosomal genetic material. Hybrids are the cells produced from the combination of two cells.
How can you separate solids that do not dissolve?
If the solids can be made to form a suspension in a liquid, they can be separated in a centrifuge. Another technique, used in mineral analysis, is to float off the material in a dense liquid, such as Sodium polytungstate or similar. And with a powdered material, shaking tables are much used in industry.
Term used to describe a material that can be hammered or rolled into shape?
Malleable.See Web Links for a definition.Ductile is a similar word. Both are commonly applied to describe metals.
Is fullerene harder than diamond?
No. Diamond is the hardest mineral, and is formed from carbon (C). Cellulose is the material plants make their cell walls from and has the formula (C6H10O5) n. It has makes up most of paper, cardboard and cotton.
What is the difference between similar and dissimilar?
Similar means the same or alike, and dissimilar is the opposite of similar.
Sedimentary rocks that formed organically typically contain?
Sedimentary rocks that are formed organically typically contain fossils. They also have other organic material like calcite and other similar substances.
What is sedimentary rock most similar to?
sedimentary rocks
What pair of minerals most common in detrital sedimentary rocks?
Clay minerals and quartz are the chief constituents of most sedimentary rocks in this category. To answer why, clay minerals are the most abundant product of the chemical weathering of silicate minerals, especially the feldspars. Clays are fine-grained minerals with sheetlike crystalline structures similar to the micas. Quartz is abundant because it is extremely durable and very resistant to chemical weathering. Thus, when igneous rocks such as granite are attacked by weathering processes, individual quartz grains are freed.
How does mixing concrete and allowing it to harden is similar to formation of sedimentary rock?
Both processes include sediments and water, with the water facilitating the setting of the material. However, sedimentary rock tends to form under pressure, whereas the hardening of concrete just requires it to dry out.
Is a geode a rock?
A geode is a chemical sedimentary structure formed by mineral precipitation, similar to the way sedimentary cave structures are formed.
How does mixing concrete similar to the foremation of Sedimentary rocks?
It has to do with solidification and cementation.
Which type of rock is where fossils are found?
They are mostly found in Sedimentary Rocks
What is shaping in lathe machine operations?
Although shaping usually refers to removal of material from a staionary object, material removed while rotary broaching with a Slater broach on a lathe is very similar to a typical shaping operation.
How are sedimentary and metamorphic rocks similar?
They are all made of minerals. They are solid. They are part of the rock cycle.
How are igneous and sedimentary rocks similar?
They are all made of minerals. They are solid. They are part of the rock cycle.
How are organic rocks and chemical rocks similar?
Both organic sedimentary (like coal) and chemical sedimentary (like rock salt) rocks are not composed of particles of other rocks, as are the bulk of sedimentary rocks classified as clastic (shale, sandstone, conglomerate).
What places are sedimentary rocks found?
At a bottom of a lake, a river delta, an ocean, or similar location where further movement is restricted or slowed down.
