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.

Lable and function of skin

crimeas [40]

Answer:

Skin has three layers: The epidermis, the outermost layer of skin, provides a waterproof barrier and creates our skin tone. The dermis, beneath the epidermis, contains tough connective tissue, hair follicles, and sweat glands. The deeper subcutaneous tissue (hypodermis) is made of fat and connective tissue.

Genetic diversity is the total number of genetic characteristics in a species. Explain how chromosomal crossover contributes to

Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

Option (B).

Explanation:

Genetic diversity may be defined as the number of total genetic characteristics of a species. Genetic diversity helps the population to adapt in the changing environment. Crossing over provides a source of genetic diversity.

Crossing over is the process of exchange of genetic material during the process of meiosis. Thus, crossing over increases the variation of genetic characteristic in the haploid gamete cells.

Thus, the correct answer is option (b).
