Answer: A. By selecting dominant genotypes

Explanation:

Artificial selection or selective breeding can be defined as the induced breeding process in which humans select parents of plants and animals that have desired traits that are beneficial for them to produce offspring that have characteristics of both parents and they are of improved yield and quality. This brings the change in the phenotypes of the offspring as compared to the parents. As the passage of dominant desirable traits in the genotype from either of the parent when gets expressed then the phenotype of the organism also change.

After a copper smelter begins operation, local downwind populations of plants begin to adapt to the resulting air pollution. Sci

Answer:

Adaptation.

Explanation:

Adaptation occurs when the acid tolerance of several plant species has increased significantly in the polluted area. The main reason for this tolerance is the change in the genetic makeup or mutation occurs in the cell due to the exposure of DNA to the chemicals of the environment that cause pollution. The plant adopt the environment by producing certain chemicals that cancel the effects of pollutants and as a result, the plant survive.

enot [183]

Answer:

India experiences the monsoon season

Explanation:

From the picture, it can be seen that India experiences the monsoon season.

This is evident in that the southwestern summer monsoon is brought into a low-pressure area primarily as a result of great heat moving over the Thar Desert in places like Rajasthan and other nearby areas during summer.

This is illustrated in the picture as wind direction moves inwards at this period, making the moisture-rich wind blowing from the Indian Ocean moves to the low-pressure region, hitting the great Himalayas, and thereby leads to rainfall.
