The metamorphic process that turns sandstone into gneiss is called regional metamorphism. This process involves high temperature and pressure conditions deep within the Earth's crust, causing the minerals in the sandstone to recrystallize and align in layers to form gneiss. The distinctive banding and foliation of gneiss are a result of this intense metamorphic transformation.
The daughter rock of granite is gneiss. Gneiss forms from the metamorphism of granite, where the minerals in the granite recrystallize and align into distinct bands or layers, giving gneiss its characteristic appearance.
Sandstone is changed into quartzite and basalt is changed into schist or gneiss through the process of metamorphism.
Granite is an igneous rock formed from the cooling of molten magma. It does not directly turn into a sedimentary rock through metamorphism. Instead, it can be weathered and eroded to form sediment, which may then become sedimentary rock through compaction and cementation processes.
Granite, gneiss, sandstone, and schist. Possibly more than that.

Gneiss metamorphosed from shale, sandstone, granite and conglomerate.
Shale turns into slate, granite into gneiss.
Gneiss is neither limestone nor sandstone. Gneiss is a metamorphic rock that forms from the transformation of pre-existing rocks such as granite or sedimentary rocks under high heat and pressure. The resulting gneiss typically exhibits banded layers of minerals.
Sandstone turns into gneiss through a process called recrystallization, which occurs under high temperatures and pressures deep within the Earth's crust. During this process, the mineral composition and texture of the sandstone are altered, resulting in the formation of gneiss, a metamorphic rock with distinct layering and a high degree of foliation.
If broken down it turns into sandstone. If morphed it turns into gneiss.

Granite, Gneiss and then the sedimentary rocks like Sandstone and Limestone.
Sandstone is changed into quartzite and basalt is changed into schist or gneiss through the process of metamorphism.

It can.
