Natural selection is a process of adaptation by an organism to the changing environment by bringing selective changes to its genotype or genetic composition.

Artificial selection, also called selective breeding, is the process where humans identify desirable traits in animals and plants and use these traits to develop desirable phenotypic traits by breeding.

Some examples of natural selection include the selection of long-necked giraffes and the changes in the size and shape of beaks of birds according to their feeding habits.

Some examples of artificial selection include dog breeding to produce new breeds of dogs and cross-breeding in cash crops like wheat and rice.

A molecule is involved in a chemical reaction, causing the arrangement of its atoms to change. What is the result of this proces

AlladinOne [14]

<span>Chemical reactions occur when different atoms and molecules combine together and spit apart. For example, if Carbon (C) is burnt in Oxygen (O2) to form Carbon Dioxide, a Chemical Reaction occurs.So, during chemical reactions, new product atoms are not created, and old reactant atoms are not destroyed. Atoms are rearranged as bonds are broken and formed. In all chemical reactions, mass is always conserved...In chemical reactions, atoms rearrange to form products. Hope I helped!</span>

Considering that cells vary in shape,what other dimensions or parameters of the cell could be used to estimate cell size?

tangare [24]

Answer:

Three general factors determine cell shape: the state of the cytoskeleton, the amount of water that is pumped into a cell, and the state of the cell wall. Each of these three factors is highly dynamic, meaning they are constantly in flux or can be suddenly changed. This dynamism is how cells can vary in shape.

I'm thinking New Zealand. This is my own opinion so please correct me if I'm wrong. I don't think it would be New York or Texas and I don't know about Finland. I'm going with C. New Zealand.
