Which of the following is not a step in the process of natural selection
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

A step that is not part of natural selection is people select which individuals breed and which ones do not.

Explanation:

Natural selection is a process in which favorable or unfavorable environmental conditions determine the evolution of species, producing differences in their genotype over a long period of time.

As its name indicates, it is a natural selection, in which no intervention by people is contemplated, so that <u>people cannot determine which individuals breed</u>.

Natural selection implies that the characteristics on which the environment influences are inheritable, that there is genetic variability in the population and that the variability of these characteristics implies the ease of reproduction and survival capacity.

<em>The other options do form part of natural selection, since they are based on the three premises of this process: </em>

  • <em>Inheritable characteristics. </em>
  • <em>Genetic variability. </em>
  • <em>The variability of characteristics influences reproduction and survival.</em>

marusya05 [52]

Answer:

In the gums

Explanation:

Lidocaine is a compound which can be used as a local anaesthetic. This anaesthesia works by blocking the voltage-gated channels which allows the influx of the sodium ions. As the sodium ions do not enter therefore an action potential is not generated in the axons as a result of which no pain is felt in the area.

In the given since the lidocaine is used by the dentist therefore the dentist in order to treat some dental problem must inject the lidocaine in the gums where the sensory receptors of the teeth are present.

Thus, in the gums is the correct answer.

gavmur [86]
Answer;
Insulin and the growth hormone
The hormones that are involved in building and maintaining healthy bone tissues are Insulin and growth hormone


Explanation;
Insulin has some anabolic properties for bone. It is uncertain whether insulin stimulates bone directly or indirectly by increasing muscle work and thus skeletal loading. 
Growth hormone is a peptide hormone secreted from the pituitary gland under the control of hypothalamus. It directly and through IGF-I stimulates osteoblast proliferation and activity, promoting bone formation. Additionally it stimulates osteoclast differentiation and activity,promoting bone resorption.

How can the human eye see color??
seraphim [82]
Light receptors within the eye transmit messages to the brain, which produces the familiar sensations of color. Newton observed that color is not inherent in objects. Rather, the surface of an object reflects some colors and absorbs all the others. We perceiveonly the reflected colors.
