Luther burbank was a plant breeder who developed a strain of potato plant that produced more tubers (the part of the root that p

eople eat) of larger size than other potato plants that were grown on farms at the time. this strain of potato was also resistant to the potato blight that had wiped out the potato crops in ireland in the mid-1800s. how did burbank's process in developing this potato compare to the process of natural selection?

<span>I belive the answer is D. Burbank's process did not involve environmental pressures to shape the outcome. 

Burbank process is similar to natural selection because he will select the potato based on some traits. The trait would be big potato and resistant to disease. The genetic makeup will also favor those with the selected trait. This process should be faster.</span>

A new fossil is found in a rock layer in England. How can index fossils be used to help date the approximate age of the new foss
luda_lava [24]

Answer:

index fossils are those fossils which have wide geographical distribution and short life span. so if they are found in a particular age, it means they belong in that age and they cannot be found in formations younger then that. for example if there is an index fossil of Permian age, we can corellate the permian age formations

index fossils have a very short life span which means they only can be found in a particular age.
