The nine activities that scientists engage in as a part of scientific inquiry are the following:
1. Observe
2. Define the problem
3. Form a study question
4. Research the problem
5. State the expectations (hypothesis)
6. Experiment and gather data
7. Analyze the results
8. Reflect on the findings
9. Communicate with the wider community
The answer is C) Cloning eliminates the ability to sexually reproduce and provide genetic variability.
In the future, there is no variability in the genes in the clones given that they are the exact copies of the "parent" produce. All should be identical without differences and variations. Although Farmer Brown doesn't want this to happen that's is what he is reluctant to listen to Farmer Green's advice.
The answer is letter D. The macronucleus is not exchanged during conjugation. <span>It normally contains the working duplicates/copies of genes necessary to support an enormous cell. Macronucleus is formed by a direct division of the polyploid nucleus right after conjugation then followed by series of internal gene replication that is not oftenly occurring in micronucleuse.</span>
5. System level
6. Organ level
Natural selection is the process that result in the adaptation of an organism to environment by means of selectively reproducing changes in its genotype, or genetic constitution. It is the a key mechanism of evolution. Charles Darwin popularised the term "natural selection" contrasting it with artificial selection, which is intentional, whereas natural selection is not.
To make it simple, let's have a group of beetle composing of green and some are brown as an example. here, there is a variation in traits. Since the environment could not support continuous population growth, not all species can reproduce to their full potential. Green beetles can easily be eaten by other species like birds compared to brown beetles. The surviving brown beetles will then generate brown offsprings because their trait has a genetic basis. Since more brown beetles survive and becomes more common in the population, the process continues until all individuals will eventually be brown. so basically, if you have variation, differential reproduction, and heredity, you will have evolution by natural selection as an outcome.
