Which mineral scratches dolomite and is scratched by olivine?
1.galena
2.quartz
3.potassium feldspar
4.muscovite mica
10

Option (3)

Explanation:

The above-given question is based on the Mohr's hardness scale, which shows the hardness of the minerals ranging from 1 to 10, where the mineral with hardness 1 is Talc which is a soft mineral, and 10 is Diamond which is the hardest of all the minerals.

So from the above data, we can conclude that Potassium feldspar is the mineral which can scratch the surface of a Dolomite mineral and is scratched by Olivine, because its hardness (6-6.5) is more than Dolomite (3.5-4) but lesser than that of Olivine (6.5-7).

Thus, the correct answer is option (3).

step 1: initiation

initiation is the beginning of transcription. it occurs when the enzyme rna polymerase binds to a region of a gene called the promoter. this signals the dna to unwind so the enzyme can ‘‘read’’ the bases in one of the dna strands. the enzyme is now ready to make a strand of mrna with a complementary sequence of bases.

step 2: elongation

elongation is the addition of nucleotides to the mrna strand. rna polymerase reads the unwound dna strand and builds the mrna molecule, using complementary base pairs. there is a brief time during this process when the newly formed rna is bound to the unwound dna. during this process, an adenine (a) in the dna binds to an uracil (u) in the rna.

step 3: termination

termination is the ending of transcription, and occurs when rna polymerase crosses a stop (termination) sequence in the gene. the mrna strand is complete, and it detaches from dna.
