Answer:
selective breeding; biotechnology
Explanation:
Selective breeding is a type of artificial selection that consists of crossing plants/animals with desirable and heritable phenotypic traits in order to increase the frequency of such traits in progeny. Selective breeding can be considered as one of the first biotechnological techniques applied by humans. In the past, the selective breeding technique has allowed obtaining domesticated animals (e.g., dogs from wild wolves) and domesticated crops from their wild ancestors (e.g., maize from its wild ancestor teosinte).
Species evolve independently possibly due to geographical isolations or behavioural isolations.
Geographical isolation includes the isolation of 2 groups of the same species. Since these 2 groups live in different locations, (e.g. a volcanic eruption resulting in a barrier between one side of an ocean and another side of the ocean), they will have different selection pressures in their different environments as well (e.g. one side of the ocean may have more sunlight and thus more underwater plantations than the other side of the ocean). Natural selection will eliminate those with disadvantageous characteristics (e.g. Fishes that only eat plants and nothing else on the side of the ocean with little plantations) with unfavourable alleles, and select for those with advantageous characteristics (e.g. Fishes are able to eat plants and other organic substances as well on the side of the ocean with little plantations) with favourable alleles.
Since the 2 groups have different selection pressures, natural selection will occur in different ways, selecting for and against different types of fishes with different types of alleles. Also, because of the barrier, they are not able to mate with each other, and there are no mixing of genes from one side of the ocean and the other side. They are genetically isolated. As genetic drift occurs over time, their gene pools become different from each other. Thus, they evolve independently.

The correct option is C.
The heart is part of the cardiovascular system. The heart pump the blood round the body several times in a day. The blood is made up of several types of cells which carry out specific function in the body, these include the white blood cells which serves as soldiers of the body. The lymph refers to the fluid that circulate throughout the lymphatic system. Both the blood and the lymph are carried round the body by the cardiovascular system during the process of circulation.<span />
Answer:
Through photosynthesis, certain organisms convert solar energy (sunlight) into chemical energy, which is then used to build carbohydrate molecules. The energy used to hold these molecules together is released when an organism breaks down food. Cells then use this energy to perform work, such as cellular respiration.
Explanation:
<span>The correct answer is A. atoms. Atoms are studied by physics and chemistry, not by ecology. Ecology studies organisms, populations, and the earth in terms of climate, pollution prevention, natural habitats and biomes, and all kinds of similar things that are related to living on earth. Atoms are irrelevant for the study of ecology.</span>
