Answer:

Explanation:

Some people take issue with selective breeding because it is an approach that has enabled breeders to produce factory-raised broiler chickens with unnaturally high growth rates and finished size—chickens that can even have difficulty supporting their own weight. It’s important to understand that this isn’t the only use of (or misuse, as some might say) of selective breeding.

Humans have selectively bred plants and animals for thousands of years including:

crop plants with better yields

ornamental plants with particular flower shapes and colours

farm animals that produce more, better quality meat or wool

dogs with particular physiques and temperaments, suited to do jobs like herd sheep or collect pheasants.

Selective breeding aims to adapt an organism’s characteristics in a way that is dAn organism’s characteristics are partly determined by the combination of gene variants? that are passed on from one generation to the next. For example, the children of tall parents may themselves be tall if they inherit a combination of ‘tall’ gene variants.

We can take advantage of this to selectively breed animals or plants, choosing parents with particular characteristics to produce offspring that have those characteristics.

For example, if we breed tall parents together and exclude shorter parents, the offspring should inherit “tall” gene variants that make them tall.

Some of the offspring may even be taller than both of their parents, because they may inherit a combination of different “tall” gene variants from each parent and together these make the offspring taller.

With repeated selective breeding over multiple generations this population will get taller and taller.esirable to the humans that breed them.

Q6.7. During many epidemics, health-care professionals emphasize the importance of

Serga [27]

During many epidemics, healthcare professionals emphasize the importance of community mitigation strategies, such as wearing masks, frequent hand-washing, and social distancing because these strategies help reduce transmission even when drug-based treatments and vaccines are unavailable.

It is of vital importance in cases of epidemics to implement strategies such as:

Hand-washing
Wearing masks
Social distancing

in order to better protect our communities and ourselves.

Frequent hand-washing serves to eliminate the presence of a pathogen from the surface of your hands, reducing the risks that it will find entry into your organism or land on a surface with which others will come into contact. Should you or someone else contract the pathogen anyways, wearing a mask can help to reduce or deny the possibility of transmitting the disease.

Finally, should both previous measures fail, meaning that the virus or pathogen has infected an individual and penetrated the masks, social distancing can act as a final barrier that the pathogen will rarely be able to surpass, given that most pathogens cannot remain airborne over large distances.

For these reasons, healthcare professionals emphasize the importance of these strategies because they help reduce transmission until vaccines or drug-based treatments become available and herd immunity can be reached.

Which group of algae is believed to be the ancestor of land plants?

ycow [4]

Answer:

stonewort, and many green algae such as the Spirogyra.

Explanation:

As it was believed that the land algae were believed to be evolved from the stonewort plant and the blue-green algae like the cyanobacteria and the spirogyra that colonized the lands some 500 mn years ago was a freshwater alga.

After which the first land plants occur about 470 million years ago, and they were in the form s of moss and liverworts of the vascular in origin.

Differential survival and reproduction is best described by which term? natural selection creationism inheritance of acquired ch

Sophie [7]

I believe it is natural selection. Natural selection is when over a period of time, traits that are formed to help the organism survive, are passed to the next generation. For example, if there were two types of rabbits. One had black fur and the other was white. They both lived in the artic. The black furred rabbits are mostly eaten by predators because their black fur is easily seen against the ice and snow. Over a period of time, the black furred rabbit would die out. The next generation would mostly have white fur to help them survive.
