Answer:

The high yielding property of a plant species would be most useful for meeting the scientists’ goal.

Explanation:

In selective breeding, we develop a new variety by crossing a wild specie with the domestic growing variety in order to achieve the characteristic which is present only in wild specie. So with the help of selective breeding, this characteristics is transferred to the offspring. The main goal of scientist is to produce such variety which produces maximum yield and also good quality seeds.

Answer: the gene variants that are passed from one generation to the next generation. Which might be the ability to produce good yeild, fatter crop size or taller crops etc.

Explanation:

Selective breeding involves choosing parents with particular or unique characteristics to breed together and produce offspring with much more desirable characteristics. It aims at adapting organism’s characteristics in a way that is desirable to the humans that breed them.

Selective breeding often involves breeding individuals that are closely related, which is known as inbreeding.

For example, if we breed parents that are y'all together and exclude the shorter parents, the offspring should inherit “tall” gene variants that make them tall.

Some of the offsprings produced may even be taller than both of their parents, because they may inherit a combination of different “tall” gene variants from each parent which makes the offspring taller. With repeated selective breeding over multiple generations this population will get taller and taller as time goes on.

Taste receptors on the tongue are not related to smell receptors of the nose.
tekilochka [14]

Answer:

<u>b. False</u>

Explanation:

  • As human has about 350 olfactory receptors and subtypes work in various conditions allowing us to sense about 10,000 doors. All senses of smell and tastes merge at the back of the throat.  
  • As you taste something before smelling it the smell lingers on inside in the nose which makes you smell it. As both the smell and taste are chemoreceptors which means both have chemically same sensing environments.
  • In addition, the division of taste receptors within the nose coordinate with activities, although humans can distinguish between the tastes from the smells of the objects.
  • Working together to create a perception of flavor through the nasal passage.
