Fluorite can scratch a copper coin but cannot be scratched by a copper coin. This is because according to Mohs scale of hardness, fluorite has a hardness of four. Copper has a hardness of three. Therefore fluorite is a harder mineral than copper and will scratch copper but it will not be scratched by copper. Mohs based his scale on the fact that some minerals could scratch others. If one mineral could scratch another but could not be scratched by it, he reasoned that it must be harder.

Which is a shorter process - (circle one) selective breeding or natural selection?
andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

Selective breeding.

Explanation:

Both are fairly long processes, however, the measurement for this is not just the duration to obtain the target, but also the exact target obtained. In natural selection, the duration may be faster than selective breeding in obtaining a change, but the determined change may not be the one that is sought out for. It may have a small chance, but it is not guaranteed. In selective breeding, on the other hand, the destination is determined, and all steps work towards the objective. So in a sense, selective breeding has the greater percentage chance of being the shorter process.
