Answer:

Selective breeding involves choosing parents with particular characteristics to breed together and produce offspring with more desirable characteristics.

Humans have selectively bred plants and animals for thousands of years including:

crop plants with better yields

ornamental plants with particular flower shapes and colours

farm animals that produce more, better quality meat or wool

dogs with particular physiques and temperaments, suited to do jobs like herd sheep or collect pheasants.

Selective breeding aims to adapt an organism’s characteristics in a way that is desirable to the humans that breed them.

How did Europeans justify imperialism in Africa's interior
Elenna [48]

Three centuries of the slave trade had taught Europeans that Africans were inferior, and that helped to justify imperialism in the minds of many Europeans. Even slave abolitionists contributed to this by arguing that Africans had to be "protected" from slavers; i.e. they couldn't take care of themselves.

Why were the sessions of the Constitutional Convention held in secret?
Stolb23 [73]

The correct answer is the delegates would be free to change their minds as new information was presented.

The Constitutional Convention was a meeting of delegates from 13 states in order to fix the current government structure. At this time, the Articles of Confederation were failing miserably and these individuals knew a change needed to occur.

However, to keep order, these meetings were kept secret in order to have a safe space where they could freely exchange ideas without facing criticism from the citizens. This allowed for debate and compromise to be made in a controlled environment.

"life in the american wilderness was nasty, brutish, and short for the earliest chesapeake settlers." explain.
SVEN [57.7K]
The Chesapeake colonies had people who lived short and nasty lives because of all the diseases and dangers that could end their lives prematurely. This includes things like dysentery or typhoid. They could also get killed by animals or the locals. There was a lot of fighting between the people too because for each woman there were 6 men, so a lot of the men fought for women. Commonly people wouldn't go past their forties at best.
