What could be some benefits and drawbacks of artificial selection?

1 answer:

8 0

The benefits of artificial selection is that you've taken the traits that you desire from a plant or an animal that could benefit your own survival. (Much like our ancestors bred the highest/most efficient crops, leaving us in a good farming position today). However, the drawbacks of artificial selection is that you effectively destroy any natural selection or "survival of the fittest" thus reducing the gene pool. If a virus or bacteria was effective against a crop that we bred, it would destroy our entire farming industry (also works with animals that we breed).

How many NEUTRONS does an element have if it’s atomic number is 44 and it’s mass number is 154 ?

krek1111 [17]

If the element has a atomic number of forty-four then the amount of neutrons would be "fifty-seven." This element is actually called Ruthenium and it has forty-four protons, and electrons, and it has fifty-seven neutrons and you can determine this by using this equation then solve:

$44 + N = 101$

$= 57$

Hope this helps!
