Answer:
The correct answer is: c) usually produces offspring that cannot reproduce.
Explanation:
Hybridization, also knowns as selective breeding, is an <u>artificial process</u><u> that involves selecting parents with specific characteristics in order to obtain an offspring with the same traits</u>.
Hybridization is very common and has been performed by humans for thousands of years: from selective breeding crop plants, to do so with dogs in order to create more desirable breeds.
Option A is incorrect because hybridation does not occur in nature, it is an artificial process.
Option B is incorrect because hybridation often happens when the selected parents are chosen to reproduce (by a human).
Option D is correct because an important amount of hybrids are sterile (for example: mules).
Option D is incorrect as well because the offspring is not identical: it shares a combination of genes from both parents.
Answer:Plants use carbon dioxide to make food
Explanation: Carbon-dioxide plays a very important role in sustaining life on Earth.
Plants use carbon-dioxide and water for photosynthesis in presence of sunlight and chlorophyll to produce food and oxygen.
CO₂ + H₂O → O₂ + glucose (food)
This food is consumed by the animals and oxygen is used for respiration. Animals use energy from the food to do work and exhale back carbon-dioxide.
Echinoderms are most closely related to chordates because both are: <span>D)Ectotherms</span>
Because if the new species is better at doing whatever the original species does, the original species can die because they are outcompeted by the new species, and because the new species is better, they can cause a further decline of for example the food supply that they're outcompeting the original species for. This can cause problems in the entire food web/ecosystem
