Answer:

D). Hunting is a form of negative artificial selection, with the genes that humans want (i.e., the biggest buck or largest fish), being removed from the gene pool, allowing the less wanted genes to pass on to the next generation.

Explanation:

Artificial selection consists of selective crosses, performed by humans, in order to select desirable phenotypic characteristics. In other words, we can say that artificial selection consists in putting desirable characteristics on something in the environment, however, hunting removes characteristics of the environment as a result of death caused by hunting. For this reason, hunting is considered a negative artificial selection.

Help? You are studying an outcrop where the lower layer is limestone and the layer directly on top of the limestone is sandstone

ELEN [110]

Answer:

Due to mixing of particles present in the upper layer of limestone with sandstone during deposition.

Explanation:

The parent layer was limestone layer which is older than sandstone layer. This sandstone layer spreads on the limestone layer because of wind. The wind moves these sandstone from other region and their deposition occurs on the limestone layer. During deposition of sandstone, some particles of limestone which are present at the surface mixes with the sandstone so that's why in sandstone layer, small and weathered pieces of limestone are present.

The theory of Natural Selection was accepted after it got consensus from

scientists.

<h3>What is natural selection?</h3>

The theory of Natural selection defines the process in which individuals who adapts to their environment survives and reproduce more offspring.

This theory was proposed by a scientist called Charles Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace who also had the idea of evolution.

This two scientist work together to publish a book on new evolutionary theory titled On the Origin of Species (1859). This is because they believed evolution occur through natural selection.

In this theory, organisms produce offspring but not all offspring survive this because they all struggle to live.

survival is based on survival of the fittest. some of those who survive can reproduce their kind while some do not grow to maturity and are loss.

Therefore, The theory of Natural Selection was accepted after it got consensus from scientists.
