What are the choices? But Carbohydrates are the main component of fruit and vegetables.
Artificial selection, also selective breeding occurs when humans breed individuals that have specific characteristics that they want to manipulate.
A lot of DNA is structural and doesn't pertain to any genetics while it only takes a small change to change something big. DNA mainly uses 4 different chemicals to change itself, not giving a lot of variety. Most animals share around 98% of the same dna with each other. Humans share 50% of their DNA with a banana. Pretty much everything shares the same double helix design as well. So a lot of genetic code looks similar.
<span>A moist environment because physical weathering processes such as oxidation take place most quickly in the presence of water.
There are three types of weathering, physical, chemical, and biological.
For the physical weathering, there are two main types. Freeze-thaw cycles and exfoliation. Obviously the freeze-thaw cycles require water and the exfoliation generally happens through thermal expansion and contraction which doesn't require water. But since neither of these mechanisms were observed, that doesn't indicate if the area was wet or dry. Biological weathering is caused by plants or animals breaking down rocks via chemical (acid) or mechanical (root growth) means. Life generally indicates the presence of water, but since this form of weathering wasn't observed, we still don't have enough data. Chemical weathering is caused by rain water reacting with the rocks to form new minerals and salts. There are several types such as acidic rainwater dissolving part of the rock, and oxidation. With this in mind, let's take a look at the available options.
A moist environment because there is a greater density of oxygen in the atmosphere in the presence of water.
* Yes, we need a moist environment, but the density of oxygen is fairly constant world wide regardless of how moist or dry the environment is. So this is a bad choice.
A moist environment because physical weathering processes such as oxidation take place most quickly in the presence of water.
* Water speeds up chemical weathering of all types. So this is the correct choice.
A dry environment because the increased albedo of deserts encourages physical weathering processes such as oxidation.
* Yes, the increased albedo of deserts does speed up spalling, but oxidation is a CHEMICAL weathering process, not a PHYSICAL one. So this is a bad choice.
A dry environment because in the absence of water oxidation is the dominant weathering process.
* Water speeds up oxidation quite a bit. And since the observed oxidation is thick, there's been quite a bit of weathering. So this is a bad choice.</span>
The answer is <span>C. reductions of chromosome number.
Meiosis is also known as a reduction division of the cells. The reason for that is because during meiosis the diploid cells are divided into haploid cells. Meiosis consists of two divisions - meiosis I and meiosis II. In meiosis I, the number of chromosomes is reduced, while meiosis II is similar to mitosis. In both meiosis and mitosis, however, cell division, duplication of chromosomes, and production of new cells are common processes.</span>
