Selective breeding
In selective breeding, the
desired genes from one organism are combined with genes of another
organism, resulting in a new combination of genes.
The selective breeding is quite voluntary and is not necessarily natural or congenital. It is the act of how people or individuals can choose traits in the gene pool of their choice to produce their desired or goal organism in the process. This trait is influenced in the host of the specific sperm and egg cell which makes up the chromosomes.
Considering the following statements;
A. The trait is the same for all organisms
B. The trait is resistant to mutations
C. Most forms of the trait have the same impact on survival
D. The trait is passed on genetically to the next generation
The correct answer is D.
Genetic variation is essential for natural selection since natural selection can only increase or decrease frequency of alleles that already exist in the population. Genetic variation is caused by mutation and random mating organisms.
Answer:
Carrying capacity can be described as the maximum number of population of a species that a particular habitat can hold.
There are a number of events which effect the carrying capacity like:
Environmental changes like weather conditions might become favorable for a species in a habitat. It might be that a certain weather condition raises more food for a species. Hence, the carrying capacity would increase.
It might be conditions like drought make the availability of nutrients scarce for a population of species. In this case, the carrying capacity of the ecosystem would decrease.
It might happen that other species might come to live in the particular area. That species will deplete the availability of resources and cause the carrying capacity to decrease.
If adequate amount of rain fall occurs in an area, it might cause the carrying capacity of a species to increase as there will be more water. But if the water supply becomes scarce, the carrying capacity would decrease.
Photosynthesis is when plants use sunlight to synthesize food from carbon dioxide. Plants are autotrophs (they make their own food) and the food they synthesize creates carbohydrates, so the correct answer is D - autotrophs produce carbohydrates.
Hope this helps.
Answer:
C
Explanation:
As shown in the picture I attached to my answer, we can see all of the tectonic plates, which make up the lithosphere. The pieces do move very slightly every year.
