The statement 'artificial selection decreases the rate of natural selection and change within a population' describes how artificial selection can decrease a population's biodiversity. It is a human-driven process.
<h3>Artificial selection</h3>
Artificial selection refers to the human-driven process by which different organisms (either plants or animals) are selected in order to combine desired features in offspring.
In artificial selection, organisms are mated (crossed) in order to select the progeny having desired phenotypic traits.
This process (artificial selection) leads to a decrease in natural genetic variation (biodiversity), which may have negative consequences in the successive rounds of selection.

Primary succession is when things that grow on rocks and don't need soil, like lichen, break down the rocks and turn them into soil. Then things that grow on soil can grow, like algae and fungus and firther break down the soil.
The successional stages would be larger organisms like plants and animals.
C. All cells arise form previously existing cells. This is because the scraped knee's cells would be replaced by the exact same ones that were removed. Kind of like "Out with the old and in with the new... yet the exact same..!"
Hope this helps!
The oceanic crust gets carried underneath another tectonic plate and it sinks hundreds of miles into the Earth's Mantle.
The correct answer is D. Both absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
The process of photosynthesis is carried out using atmospheric carbon dioxide by green plants. Many gases including carbon dioxide are dissolved in seawater. Some of the carbon dioxide gas remains in dissolved state but most of the carbon dioxide is reacts with water to form carbonic acid. Dissolved gases in seawater make balance with atmosphere by mixing of the surface by wind and waves. Therefore, both photosynthesis and sea water take carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
