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.

as the submersible approaches the twilight zone (300m deep), what changes in light and temperature occur?
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

In the twilight zone, the temperature and the light conditions change. The initial 200 meters of the ocean as considered as the open ocean. There is availability of light and thriving temperature there. Butt below that, in the 'deep ocean'. The availability of light decreases and as we go further down, the light no longer reaches those parts of the ocean. Moreover, the temperatures plummet down to almost freezing conditions. In addition to this, the pressure is much more higher in the deep ocean.

Meiosis occurs in humans, animals, plants and fungi, and its a sexual type of reproduction. The daughter cells are different, cause the chromosomes are mixed. Mitosis is a asexual type of reproduction and the daughter cells are identical.
