Answer: Artificial Selection is the the process of taking 2 organisms (plants/animals) with desirable traits, or traits they want in future generations, and breeding them together.

Natural Selection is NOT correct because it does not apply to the question. Respectfully, you can look at Natural Selection as "Survival of the Fittest" (Explained by Charles Darwin), the organisms that adapt and overcome harsh conditions in their environment live on to produce more offspring that are ALSO adapted to the environment.

Variation also is NOT correct because Artificial Selection actually decreases the chances of variation in the future.

Mutation is when a new DNA sequence is created for a certain/specific gene, making a new allele. However, mutation is mainly caused by environmental factors, such as Ultraviolet radiation from the Sun.

In conclusion, the process described in the question is called "Artificial Selection."

Describe the three types of environments found solutions

alexandr1967 [171]

I think you might be asking about the 3 different osmotic conditions a cell might find itself in. Isotonic is the normal cell environment where water moves in and out of the cell freely and equally in both directions. It is in osmotic equilibrium so to speak. The concentration of water and solutes is equal on both sides of the cello membrane. In a hypotonic solution the cell will gain water and swell up -...

Describe the evolution of modern whales and dolphins using the fossil evidence

HACTEHA [7]

Whales are related back to a hairy, 4-legged land mammal that eventually led to the formation of flippers without phalanges, a blow hole that became more dorsal, and other defining features. All of this has been backed by fossil evidence, especially that found within a certain desert region (can’t remember the name) that has a vast amount of whale fossils from many different time periods
