Which crystal structure do the majority of minerals have? why do you think that is? does it make them more useful?

ive been trying to find the answer for about 45 minutes or so and i can't find it. can anyone or know

this is not my answer I found it from someone else but I hope it helps!

1)The simplest structure is cubic system like simple cubic ,body- centered cubic and face centered cubic in the crystal system.

2)Yes, all minerals have crystal structures because minerals have definite crystal structure. Minerals are solids that are formed naturally through the inorganic processes. some mineral properties are density, shape, color, and hardness.

3) minerals are the naturally occurring inorganic substances which have ordered atomic arrangement, they are not made by humans that's why we can't predict the specific structure of majority of minerals.

the last one: artificial selection/genetic engineering

plant breeding is modifying the genetic composition of the plant - but this isn't cloning (which is specifically introducing a gene into a genome). but you are artificially selecting for the phenotype that you want.

the second one is literally genetic engineering - the gene would have been cloned first and then inserted or genetically engineered into the new plant cell (the cotton).
