Which among the following mineral groups, if any, contain silicon: halides carbonates or sulfides? Explain.

The correct answer is: none of these mineral groups contain silicon.

Explanation:

The only minerals that contain silicon are the Silicates, for example, SiO2 (silica).

Halides are minerals that consist of a combination of elements from the seventh group that can form salts (like fluorine or chlorine), with other elements such as calcium and sodium. For example: NaCl (sodium chloride).

Carbonates are compounds that contain carbon and oxygen, for example, CaMg(CO3)2 (dolomite).

Sulfides consist of sulfur with another element. For example: ZnS (zinc sulfide).

answers are:

lysogenic     viral dna merges with host cell dna

lysogenic     no symptoms

lytic               viral dna takes over

lysogenic     virus does not destroy host cell

lytic               virus destroys host cell

lytic               induces symptoms of viral infection

lysogenic       cell reproduces and spreads provirus
