The results of this experiment provide corroborating evidence to the claim that Artificial selection is a much more rapid process than natural selection.

Natural selection is the basis of the theory of evolution put forward by Charles Darwin. The idea of natural selection is key to our understanding of evolution and proposes a "survival of the fittest" kind of scenario in which :

Members of a population who possess a trait that is better adapted for survival will live longer to pass on said trait and evolve.
Members without the trait slowly die off over the generations, being less able to reproduce with each generational change.

Artificial selection on other hand, as the name implies, is not a natural process at all. It is instead a human-controlled version of the previously mentioned.

This method, also known as selective breeding, is when humans selectively breed individuals of a population who possess traits that we deem desirable. Some examples in which humans use selective breeding are:

Dogs
Horses
Pigs
Vegetables
Wheat

etc.

We use artificial selection or selective breeding to produce animals or food with desirable traits to humans, such as perhaps a horse whose longer legs allow it to travel further, or a pig who grows much bigger in a shorter amount of time.

This uses the same method as natural selection by reproducing the desired trait until only that version of the trait exists in the population.

However, this method does not need to wait for the opposing trait to die out over many generations, it can be isolated from the start, which means that Artificial selection is a much more rapid process than natural selection. We can conclude that the first conclusion is correct.

If you place flaccid plant cells in pure water, water ________ into cell because it has ________.

geniusboy [140]

If you place flaccid plant cells in pure water, water moves into the cell because it has a lower concentration of a solution than a concentration inside the cell. This solution (pure water) is called hypotonic solution. As a result, the cell is swelling.

The map shows areas of upwelling climate scientist predict that upwelling may intensify along the western coast of the United St

Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

Option (A)

Explanation:

Upwelling usually refers to the rising up of denser, deep-sea cold water to the surface of the ocean, replacing the less dense warm air.

It takes place both near the coastal areas and in the broad open ocean.

The deeper cold water is highly rich in the valuable nutrients, and as they rise up they carry these nutrients and distribute them in the upper region of the ocean water body. The marine organisms are directly dependent on these nutrients, thereby helps in biological productivity.

Thus, the intense upwelling occurring in a particular area in the ocean signifies the abundance of marine species.

Hence, the correct answer is option (A).

Atoms in triglycerides could be used in the synthesis of dna. which metabolic intermediate and pathway will function as crossove

andre [41]

Atoms in triglycerides could be used in the synthesis of DNA. Acetyl-CoA is the metabolic intermediate involved in Citric acid cycle pathway which functions as crossover points between triglycerides and DNA.

The Citric acid cycle also known as Krebs cycle or TCA cycle (tricarboxylic acid cycle) involves a series of enzyme-catalyzed reactions which occur in the mitochondrial matrix. In this pathway, acetyl-CoA is oxidized to form carbon dioxide and the coenzymes are reduced, which generate ATP in the electron transport chain.

Acetyl-CoA (acetyl coenzyme A) takes part in many biochemical reactions linked with protein, carbohydrate and lipid metabolism. Its main role is to deliver the acetyl group to the Citric acid cycle (Krebs cycle) to be oxidized for energy production.
