Answer:

The correct answer is option C, that is, selective breeding.

Explanation:

A procedure in which the development of novel organisms is done manually to obtain desirable features is known as artificial selection or selective breeding. In the process, the scientists or the breeders go for two parents exhibiting desired phenotypic characters and mate them to generate offspring comprising desired traits from both the parents.  

The process is used to generate better varieties of vegetables and fruits, bigger animals having more meat, and crops having desired characteristics. Thus, in the given question, where a black Angus cattle and a white short-horned cattle are mated to generate an offspring comprising better qualities of growth and more beef shows that the process of selective breeding is done.

What is the main similarity between the processes of artificial selection and natural selection?
Gnesinka [82]
Natural selection involve natural causes while artificial selection is by human breeding or human intervention.
The process of domestication is called artificial selection. Like natural selection, artificial selection acts by allowing differential reproductive success to individuals with different  genetically determined traits in order to increase the frequency of desirable traits in the population. Natural selection and selective breeding can both cause changes in animals and plants. The difference between the two is that natural selection happens naturally, but selective breeding only occurs when humans intervene.

Nerves that only carry impulses away from the central nervous system (CNS) are called:
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

motor Nerves.

Explanation:

These are   bundles of axon  of  the spinal cord located in the CNS. They originated at the  motor cortex of the brain.

They  conduct response signals out of the CNS through the spinal cord to reach the effector(muscles).These signals pass through the brain stem and the spinal cord ipsillaterially, to emerge at the ventral side of the spinal cord to terminate at the skeletal muscles or the smooth muscles.  

The   bundles of  AXON are  called FASICICLES

They are bundle of axons which transduce  signals from the CNS  to peripheral neurons of the muscles of the body.They are different from the motor neuron which have their cell bodies  in the spinal cord and dendrites at the terminal ends.  

However, they communicated with the muscles they innervated through the motor neuron at the terminal.

They have high concentration of neurotransmitter acetylcholine vesicles  for chemical transmission at synapse, and calcium ion in the presynaptic motor nerves   for migration of the vesicles for   increasing the size of end-plate potential
