The Homework Wizard

1. LUSTER - it is the quality and intensity of reflected light exhibited by the mineral. 2. HARDNESS - it is a measure of the resistance of a mineral to abrasion. 3. COLOR AND STREAK - Color is the visible hue of the mineral, Streak on the other hand is the color of a mineral in powdered form. 4. CRYSTAL FORM/HABIT - the external shape of a crystal or groups of crystals is displayed/observed as these crystals grow in open spaces. 5. CLEAVAGE - it is the property of some minerals to break along parallel repetitive planes of weakness to form smooth, flat surfaces. 6. FRACTURE - some minerals may not have cleavages but exhibit broken surfaces that are irregular and non-planar. 7. SPECIFIC GRAVITY - it is the ratio of the weight of a mineral to the weight of an equal volume of water. 8. OTHERS - there are other certain unique properties of minerals that actually help in their identification (e.g. magnetism, odor, taste, tenacity, reaction to acid, ect.)

Dwarfism is a condition of short stature because there is too little production of growth hormones of the pituitary gland.

Specific base pairing is essential to the process of  transcription and translation because any change/s in the  sequence of nitrogenous bases in the DNA may cause changes  in the kind, sequence, and number of amino acids of proteins synthesized by cells. Changes in the protein structure or level of expression may lead to change in cellular properties and behavior, as a result, the organism is affected.

Music notes are symbols that represent musical sounds (pitch and duration). Most notes are made up of an oval-shaped notehead and a stem. Stems extend upward to the right side of the notehead or downward on the left side of the notehead. Noteheads may be hollow or filled in.
