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.

Check out this potato plant. We eat lots of potatoes. They are considered to be(1) a vegetable and (2) starchy. Starches are mad
kakasveta [241]

Answer:

The two main component of starch are amylose and amylopectin.

Explanation:

Carbohydrates are the important biomolecules of the living organisms. They provide structural and functional support of the living organisms. Carbohydrates are important in both plants and animals.

The starch provide important function in plants. The starch is polymers of made of glucose linked through the glycosidic bond. Amylose is the linear structure and amylopectin includes the branched chain and interaction in the structure of the strach.

Thus, the correct answer is amylose and amylopectin.

How can reproductive barriers form sympatric populations while their members remain in the same geographic area?
grandymaker [24]

Answer: Polyploidy

Explanation:

Polyploidy is defined as the phenomenon by which cells, tissues or organisms with three or more complete sets of chromosomes originate. Such cells, tissues or organisms are called polyploids.

If the genomes of a polyploid species come from the same ancestral species, it is said to be autopolyploid or autoploid. And if they come from two different ancestral species, it is said to be allopolyploid or alloploid. <u>Depending on the number of complete chromosome sets that the species has it is called triploid (3X), tetraploid (4X), pentaploid (5X), hexaploid (6X) and so on, where X is the monoploid number, and not to be confused with the haploid number. </u>

Redundant genetic elements of polyploid organisms can be transformed into single copies by sub-functionalization, neofunctionalization mechanisms or by the appearance of certain mutations.

<u>Two populations are sympatric when they exist in the same area and thus frequently encounter one another. </u>In general, different species cannot interbreed and produce healthy and fertile offspring due to barriers known as reproductive isolation mechanisms.  Polyploidy speciation is common in plants but rare in animals. So, animal species are much less tolerant of changes in ploidy. For example, human embryos that are triploid or tetraploid are not viable, cannot survive.

3 potential challenges or important points to consider when conducting the described data collection
Aliun [14]

Answer:

- Determine what information is required to collect

- Determine the methodology used for data collection

- Determine the methodology used for analyzing data

Explanation:

Data collection is the process of obtaining and measuring information on a variable of interest, which is used to answer questions about a particular issue and to obtain conclusions by the evaluation of the outcomes. Data collection represents an important issue from a broad spectrum ranging from social sciences to physical/natural sciences, as well as in business structures. For example, in an international company, such data collection enables to save money by building customer's databases that help to reduce marketing efforts. Methodologies for data collection include observational procedures, interviews, questionnaires and group discussions.
