Could artificial selection occur without inherited variation?

Biology
1 answer:
Sidana [21]4 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Artificial selection cannot occur without inherited variation.

Explanation:

Artificial selection is the *process of breeding animals and cultivating plant which have certain desirable inherited characteristics*. It is an intentional way of selection,it is different from natural selection.

In Artificial selection, Animals bred or plants that are cultivated at home garden do not occur exactly the way they are in the wild. They are the result of many centuri of selection process by humans. Man has stipulated such plants/Animal by *selecting out undesired characters to ensure higher yields of resistance*, wherefore inherited traits(variations) are used in the selection process.

*Artificial selection cannot occur without inherited variation because the inherited traits/variation could be adaptations that will help the specie to survive*.

A population of kangaroos is growing at a rate of 2% per year, compounded continuously. If the growth rate continues, how many y
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

The correct answer is 20 years.

Explanation:

It is given that the growing rate is 2% or 2/100 = 0.02

This rate got increased to 150%

The formula for exponential growth is:  

A = Pe^rt

Let the initial population be 100%

150 = 100.e^0.02*t

3/2 = e^0.02t

1.5 = e^0.02t

After taking log from both the sides:  

ln(1.5) = 0.02t * ln(e) [ln(e) = 1]

ln(1.5) = 0.02t

t = ln(1.5)/0.02

t = 20.27

Thus, it will take around 20 years for the size of the population to reach 150 percent of its present size on the basis of the exponential growth function.

Q6: A
Q7:D
Q8:C

Reasoning
Q6: Based on all the other questions talking about common ancestors I deduced that to find a “common” ancestor they need to find things that are the same.

Q7: All arthropod have a exo skeleton for example a lobster or crab. They all have a head, abdomen and thorax for example ants. They all have legs with joints for example a spider.

Q7:So bones are traveled down by ancestors so the types of bones stay the same but natural selection has changed them to better fit their environment.
