Answer: Artificial Selection is the the process of taking 2 organisms (plants/animals) with desirable traits, or traits they want in future generations, and breeding them together.

Natural Selection is NOT correct because it does not apply to the question. Respectfully, you can look at Natural Selection as "Survival of the Fittest" (Explained by Charles Darwin), the organisms that adapt and overcome harsh conditions in their environment live on to produce more offspring that are ALSO adapted to the environment.

Variation also is NOT correct because Artificial Selection actually decreases the chances of variation in the future.

Mutation is when a new DNA sequence is created for a certain/specific gene, making a new allele. However, mutation is mainly caused by environmental factors, such as Ultraviolet radiation from the Sun.

In conclusion, the process described in the question is called "Artificial Selection."

wel

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

The correct statement is that the there is a difference in protein which is found in the outer membrane and inner membrane of the mitochondria.

The inner membrane of the mitochondria is folded to allow maximum surface area for the energy production.

The inner part of the mitochondria contains the enzyme ATPase for energy production.

The outer membrane of the mitochondria contains enzymes for the export and import of the various materials with the help of TOM40 complex and TIM23 complex.

Len [333]

The nurse needs to note the outburst, and report it to her supervisor. Although this comment seems at the surface to be an admission of guilt, perhaps there are other unseen circumstances. For example, perhaps she is blaming herself for letting the child out of her sight, and the injuries were actually caused by another while the child was out of her vigilance.

<h3>What is a Biome?</h3>

This is referred to an environment which has features such as being greatly influenced by abiotic factors such as sunlight, water etc.

Tropical rainforest as the name implies has a large and frequent amount of precipitation thereby making it wet with little seasonal variation in temperature. It is also characterized by large trees which form canopies in the region.
