Answer:

No, this is artificial selection.This is because, the selective pressure was not a natural factor, but the farmer  who purposefully selected the best seed based on sizes. Therefore, he did not allow the natural phenomenon to it its cause, but rather chose the most fitted/ viable/largest seeds to germinate.

Phases of meiosis on the lines provided, identify the stage of meiosis i or meiosis ii in which the event described occurs. 9. e
Natalka [10]
Meiosis I
Prophase I - homologous chromosomes form a tetrad, where they begin cross-over through the process of synapses.
Metaphase - homologous chromosomes then align along the metaphase plate.
Anaphase I - spindles then separate the homologous chromoses, pulling them to opposite poles of the cell
Telephase I - the cell creates a cleavage burrow inwhich the cell divides into two new cells with 46 chromosomes in the process of cytokinesis

Meiosis II
The same as mitosis
Prophase II - Nuclear envelope disintegrates, Sister chromatids migrate towards the metaphase plate.
Metaphase II - Sister chromatids align along the plate by their centromere.
Anaphase II- spindles pull the chromatin to opposites poles
Telephase II- cleavage burrow forms and cells seperate through cytokinesis

end result
4 haploid gametes are formed

A. a breeze

A breeze is caused by unequal heating and cooling of adjoining areas of the surface of the Earth. It is strongest during the day in warm, dry weather. More intense solar radiation leads to stronger breeze. It can be countered or augmented by winds moving through pressure systems.
