The domestication and breeding of animals to have as pets, livestock on farms, or for work purposes is a form of artificial sele

ction. Charles Darwin used these practices to support his theory of species change by natural selection. How is artificial selection similar to natural selection?

Answer: Natural Selection is the (natural) process in nature whereby organisms (plants, animals, etc.) that are better adapted to survive and thrive in their environment, are more likely to survive in order to breed/reproduce and pass on their own genes and characteristics. These characteristics can be physical or behavioral.

Artificial selection is where man, instead of nature, determines which characteristics they would like to hone. In the case of crops, edible, tasty, easy to cultivate crops were chosen above harder to grow crops. Animals kept for meat and other products, were selected based on how much milk, wool, meat, etc. could be produced. Health was also a factor, as sickly animals are troublesome (and potentially unsafe to utilize their products). In the case of domesticated pets, let us consider the dog, originating from domesticated wolves. The more easily trained, protective, better natured wolves were chosen to continue to line of species and the undesirables discarded.

Number the steps of the binary fission process in correct order
kari74 [83]

Step 1:

The bacterium cell must copy its DNA so the new cells will have DNA. DNA or, deoxyribonucleic acid, has all of the information the bacterium will need to survive, so it is important it gets copied. The DNA is tightly wound so it is in a neat package called a chromosome.

Steps 2 and 3:

The bacterium now grows larger. This allows for some separation between the two DNA copies that are inside the cell. A division develops in the middle of the bacterium. This division eventually completely divides the bacterium in half. This is called cytokinesis.

Step 4:

Each cell is now called a daughter cell and they separate.

The steps of binary fission

binary fission

Binary fission results in two identical daughter cells. This is a type of asexual reproduction, or creating genetically identical offspring. If humans were able to reproduce using binary fission, it would look something like this: your mother or father would grow larger, and inside all of his or her DNA would be copied. Eventually your parent would split in half creating an identical clone.

Mr. and Mrs. Green have a daughter, Georgia, who was born at Riverside Community Hospital. Mr. and Mrs. Blue have a daughter, Be
Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

Yes, Mrs Green is correct that Belle is her biological daughter

Explanation:

According to this question, Mr. and Mrs. Green is said to have a daughter, Georgia while Mr. and Mrs. Blue is said to have a daughter, Belle. Both daughters were born the same day. Hence, a controversy occured as Mrs. Green thinks that Belle is her biological daughter.

Based on the blood analysis, the following were obtained:

Mr. Green: Type A

Mrs. Green: Type A

Georgia: Type A

Mr. Blue: Type AB

Mrs. Blue: Type A

Belle: Type O

The genotype of the following blood types is as follows:

Type A - iAiA or iAi

Type B - iBiB or iBi

Type O - ii

Type AB - iAiB

From the analysis of blood types of Mr and Mrs Green, which are both type A, they can possibly produce a child with type A.

However, from the analysis of Mr. and Mrs. Blue, it is impossible to have a child with blood type O. However it is possible for Mr and Mrs. Green if they are both heterozygous (iAi × iAi). The punnet square is attached. Hence, Mrs Green is correct about her claim since Mr. and Mrs. Blue cannot have a child with blood type A.
