Answer:

A step that is not part of natural selection is people select which individuals breed and which ones do not.

Explanation:

Natural selection is a process in which favorable or unfavorable environmental conditions determine the evolution of species, producing differences in their genotype over a long period of time.

As its name indicates, it is a natural selection, in which no intervention by people is contemplated, so that people cannot determine which individuals breed.

Natural selection implies that the characteristics on which the environment influences are inheritable, that there is genetic variability in the population and that the variability of these characteristics implies the ease of reproduction and survival capacity.

The other options do form part of natural selection, since they are based on the three premises of this process:

Inheritable characteristics.
Genetic variability.
The variability of characteristics influences reproduction and survival.

Identify the parts of the female and male reproductive system and their functions.

Lena [83]

Female:

*Ovaries - release of oocytes (eggs), estrogen and progesterone.

*Oviducts (fallopian tubes) - where fertilization of the oocyte occurs to form a zygote.

*Uterus - where the zygote develops

*Cervix and vagina - allow for the entry of sperm for fertilization

Male:

*Testes - Releases testosterone and sperm

*Vas deferens - Passageway for sperm

*Epididymis - allows the sperm to pass from the testes and vas deferens and equips them with semen so they can survive internal fertilization

*Penis - releases sperm into the external environment for fertilization to occur

How could the movement of tectonic plates create another supercontinent like Pangaea

Margaret [11]

When the landmasses are again collected together in a specific area

The Pangea theory supports the theory of plate tectonics because it is based on the idea that all the present continents were one super-continent. For reasons still unknown, the super-continent got separated and created separate smaller continents. This theory also supports the fact that this movement will continue until the day arrives when all the smaller continents will again merge in a different configuration to create another super-continent.

Explain how scientists use geologic time to determine the age of landforms.

Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

Explanation:Following are the techniques or methods or approaches we can say that were used by the scientists to determine the geologic age:

1. Relative age dating

2. Absolute age dating.

3. Radiation measurement.

4. Stratigraphic superposition.

5. The fossil record.

The scientists used the method of relative dating to divide Earth's past in different chunks of time when alike organisms were on Earth. After that, to discover the actual number of years ago that events occurred, the scientists used the method of absolute dating.
