Answer:

loss of genetic diversity

Explanation:

Artificial selection, also known as selective breeding, refers to the identification by humans of desirable phenotypic features (traits) in plants and animals and the subsequent breeding procedures to enhance and perpetuate these traits in offspring. As a consequence of artificial selection, future generations of selectively bred animals/plants will share favorable gene variants (alleles), thereby genetic diversity will decrease in the population. This reduction in the gene pool will affect genetic progress and consequently also breeding programs in the future.

A medication is given at a dosage of 3.000 mg of medication per kg of body weight. of 0.1500 g of medication is given, then what

mezya [45]

110.2 lbs
First, let's determine how many kg the patient masses. Since the dose is 3.000 mg/kg we can convert that to 0.003000 g/kg. So
0.1500 g / 0.003000 g/kg = 50 kg.
So we know the patient has a weight of 50 kg. Now we simply multiply by 2.20462 to get lbs. So
50 kg * 2.20462 lbs/kg = 110.231 lbs
Rounding to 1 decimal place gives 110.2 lbs

The scientist who first studied the world of microscopic life was

Crank

I believe the answer is C, Leeunwenhoek because Copernicus was an astronomer, Kepler was a mathematician and astronomer and I THINK Bacon was a philosopher. Out of the 4, Leeuwenhoek was the only one strictly known for being a microbiologist, not only that but he was the first. I hope this helped :)
