Decomposers are like the housekeepers of an ecosystem. Without them, dead plants and animals would keep piling up with the nutrients the soil needs trapped inside. Decomposers clean up the dead material by processing it and returning the nutrients to the soil for producers.
The artificial selection is a procedure of selectively breeding certain species of plants and animals in order to develop certain desirable traits. Artificial selection helps the humans to get the plants or livestock that are the most useful for them. Among the given options, the choosing of the sheep giving the most wool, mating of the goats producing more milk, and mating of the ducks to produce large eggs are all examples of the deliberate artificial selection.
But the using of the fishing nets that are catching only the large crabs is an example of indirect artificial selection as it leads to the increased population of small crabs.
Hence, the correct answer is 'option d'.
Mendel used the garden pea to determine the inheritance of traits.
