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 artery supplies the chin/jaw region of the head with blood?
Ede4ka [16]
The artery that supplies the chin and jaw region of the head with blood is the facial artery which is a branch of the external carotid artery. All blood from the head arises from the common carotid artery wherein it is divided to internal carotid artery (major blood supply of the brain along with the basilar artery on the posterior side) and external carotid artery (major blood supply of the head other than the brain).

The external carotid artery has 8 major branches (from inferior to superior): (1) superior thyroid artery, (2) ascending pharyngeal artery, (3) lingual artery, (4) facial artery, (5) occipital artery, (6) posterior auricular artery, (7) maxillary artery, and (6) superficial temporal artery. 

Attached is a simplified photo of the branches of the external carotid artery.

Consider the phylogenetic tree. Which two organisms are most closely related, based on the tree above?
Aleksandr [31]
Answer: dinosaurs and birds
Plentiful collection of f<span>ossils of early birds and their most immediate predecessors has settled the century-old controversy about the origin of birds. Birds are now safely declared to evolve from a group of dinosaurs known as maniraptoran theropods. Birds have similar shape of the bones as a variety of maniraptorans have.  A host of fossils have shown also that the maniraptorans lay looked alike eggs as that of birds and they resemble the birds in the way they laid their eggs also. Those reasons prove that they are most closely related.</span><span>
