Answer:

It is true that a characteristic of rock is that each of the component minerals retains its properties in the mixture.

Step-by-step explanation:

Rocks are composed of two or more minerals. A rock is any naturally occurring solid mass or aggregate of minerals or mineraloid matter.

These minerals have been

1) cemented together

2) squeezed and heated together, or

3) melted and cooled together.

One of the most common rock is granite. The four minerals that make up granite are feldspar, quartz, mica, and hornblende. Each of these minerals retain their property in a mixture form in a rock.
