DNA
It transmits genetic information to the next generation
Explanation:
<u>Answer:</u>
An example situation of artificial selection is "More African elephants today naturally lack tusks compared to the elephant populations 100 years ago, because big game hunters sought elephants for ivory".
<u>Explanation:</u>
- The process of breeding animals to acquire the desired characteristics by the external means other than natural selection and behavior of animal itself is called as artificial selection.
- The first artificial selection was carried out by Darwin when he mated penguins that would have a higher chance of breeding.
- The practice of artificial selection was existing in human civilization a long time ago.

Reclassification of fungi
Explanation:
Fungi were classified under kingdom plantae by the earlier taxonomists due to their similarities. Both of them were grown on the ground and fixed to the ground, they do not move, fungi like plants also produced fruiting bodies.
However, there were many physiological, morphological, genetic, and biochemical features which were unique and different from other kingdoms.
Although, the fungi contain similar features like vacuoles, secondary metabolites, myecelial root-like structures; fungi like plants do not have a complete vascular system.
Hence, the previous classification under plants was reconsidered and fungi were reclassified as a separate kingdom next to the protists and before the plantae kingdoms.
