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 <em>NOT</em> 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 <em>NOT</em> correct because <em>Artificial</em><em> </em><em>Selection</em><em> </em>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 <em>environmental</em><em> </em><em>factors</em><em>,</em> such as Ultraviolet radiation from the Sun.

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

Please what is meant by photosynthesis​
Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

Photosynthesis is a process used by plants and other organisms to convert light energy into chemical energy that, through cellular respiration, can later be released to fuel the organism's activities. Some of this chemical energy is stored in carbohydrate molecules, such as sugars and starches, which are synthesized from carbon dioxide and water, In most cases, oxygen is also released as a waste product that stores three times more chemical energy than the carbohydrates. Most plants, algae, and cyanobacteria perform photosynthesis; such organisms are called photoautotrophs. Photosynthesis is largely responsible for producing and maintaining the oxygen content of the Earth's atmosphere, and supplies most of the energy necessary for life on Earth.

Answer:

Isotonic contractions maintain constant tension in the muscle as the muscle changes length. This can occur only when a muscle's maximal force of contraction exceeds the total load on the muscle. Isotonic muscle contractions can be either concentric (muscle shortens) or eccentric (muscle lengthens).
