The statement 'artificial selection decreases the rate of natural selection and change within a population' describes how artificial selection can decrease a population's biodiversity. It is a human-driven process.
<h3>Artificial selection</h3>
Artificial selection refers to the human-driven process by which different organisms (either plants or animals) are selected in order to combine desired features in offspring.
In artificial selection, organisms are mated (crossed) in order to select the progeny having desired phenotypic traits.
This process (artificial selection) leads to a decrease in natural genetic variation (biodiversity), which may have negative consequences in the successive rounds of selection.

Black squirrels may increase in a certain area due to natural selection because of the ground below it being dark so the squirrels would adapt to the terrain, making them harder to see by predators.
EXAMPLE: if a light fur colored squirrel is on a dark terrain, an Owl or Large bird could easily see the color differentiation and notice that it is a small land organism (prey).
So the squirrels kin would evolve in the sense that they would have darker fur to match their inhabitance
Seismic waves help scientists understand Earth's layers by:
- Scientists can observe how seismic waves change speeds when passing through different layers.
- Scientists can observe which seismic waves cannot pass through certain layers.
<h3>What are Seismic waves?</h3>
These are waves which are generated as a result of the movement of
materials in the earth. They change speed as a result of the collision with
materials in the earth and know the types of material present as a result of
some types not being able to pass through certain medium.

Answer:
Elements that are found in the same horizontal row (belong to the same period) in the periodic table, e.g. Fluorine and Neon both have the same energy level of 2.
<em>Note: The question does not specify any two elements.</em>
Explanation:
The modern periodic table is organized into eight vertical columns known as groups and seven horizontal rows known as periods. The atomic number ( number of protons in the nucleus) of elements increases when moving across the periodic table from left to right. The horizontal rows or periods represents an energy levels or the number of electron shells in an element. Energy levels (also called electron shells) are fixed distances from the nucleus of an atom where electrons may be found. Elements belonging to the same period have the same number of energy level or shells. For example, the elements belonging to Period 2 include lithium, beryllium, boron, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine and neon. These all have the same number of energy level of 2.
Genetic counselors typically receive a bachelor's degree in biology, social science or a related field, and then go on to receive specialized training, so I would say your answer would be B.) must have a degree in biology or genetics. I hope this helps!
