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.

Why would an unprotected traveler's blood boil in the mesosphere?
eduard
An unprotected traveler's blood would boil at normal body temperatures because the pressure is so low. Temperatures in the mesophere decreases with altitude, because there are few gas molecules in the mesophere to absorb the sun's radiation, the heat source is the stratosphere below. The air in the mesophere has extremely low density and as a result the air pressure is very low.

Which kind of exercise targets muscle cells instead of the cardiovascular system to meet the rapid demand for energy?
Fynjy0 [20]

the following shows a graph of the energy changes taking place as a chemical reaction progress. If an enzyme is added, which arr
Alekssandra [29.7K]
The arrow representing the activation energy will decrease in magnitude.

This arrow will be beginning at the x-axis and going up to the maximum of the graph. The reason that its magnitude decreases is because enzymes provide  alternate pathways to reactions; the new pathway has a lower activation energy, so the reaction occurs faster when an enzyme is added. This is why enzymes are referred to as biological catalysts and are a vital part of an organism's body
