Answer:

The three sections of the small intestine are the duodenum, jejunum and the ileum

Explanation:

Duodenum: The beginning and the shortest part of the small intestine where iron is absorbed. Duodenum is shaped like a letter "C.

Food passes from the stomach to duodenum through a muscle called the pyloric sphincter.

Jejunum: The middle part of the small intestine where sugars, amino acids, and fatty acids are absorbed.

Ileum: The last part of the small intestine where vitamin B12, bile acids, and other nutrients are absorbed

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. 
<span>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. </span>

In order for evolution to occur, what must happen in a population?
kozerog [31]
For evolution to occur: There must be genetic variation in a population. This provides variation on which natural selection can act. Then natural selection can act by selecting those species which are better adapted to the environmental conditions. Over time those animals that are best suited to the environment only will survive and reproduce. Those organisms successful genes will be preserved and eventually the gene frequency in the population will change, changing the overall characteristics of a population. This is how evolution occurs.
