In artificial selection what factor substitutes for naturally occurring selection pressures?
Human choice or preference substitutes for naturally occurring selection pressures in artificial selection. Instead of environmental factors determining which traits are advantageous, human breeders actively select for specific traits, leading to changes in the gene pool of the population.

What is a mineral and how is it formed?
A mineral is a naturally occurring inorganic solid with a crystalline structure and a definite chemical formula. Most minerals are formed from the cooling or evaporation of solutions containing the elements necessary for mineral formation.
Where in the solar system is methane naturally a liquid?
Methane is naturally a liquid in the outer solar system, specifically on moons such as Titan, which is a moon of Saturn. The low temperatures and high pressures on these moons allow methane to exist in its liquid state.
What are Pressures less then 0 KPa are called?
Pressures less than 0 kPa are called negative pressures. They indicate a pressure lower than atmospheric pressure.
How was the domestication of animals and plants was appiled to the theory of natural selstion?
These plants and animals were subjected to artificial selection so that the traits humans wanted in the organisms were selected for and the organisms not having these traits were culled. This, with some modification, is a good analogue for natural selection and artificial selection shows how organisms can be shaped over time with the proper selective pressures. The selective pressure of humans in artificial selection and the selective pressure of the environment in natural selection.
Describe the types of environmental pressures faced by living organisms?
Living organisms face environmental pressures such as competition for resources, predation, disease, and changes in climate. These pressures drive evolution by selecting for individuals with advantageous traits that increase their chances of survival and reproduction. Organisms must adapt to these pressures in order to thrive in their environment.
New species of organisms may emerge if?
there is genetic variation within a population, environmental pressures that select for certain traits, reproductive isolation that prevents interbreeding with other populations, and enough time for the new species to evolve.
Does directional selection only occur in response to naturally occurring events?
No, directional selection can also occur in response to human activities such as selective breeding and environmental changes caused by human intervention. It can also occur in response to human-imposed selection pressures in agriculture and other industries.
What is normal intrapleural pressure?
well, first of all the left lung at a certain point in history compresses until its hard to breath and the right lung at this point expands. This is unatural.
What is a mineral and how is it formed?
A mineral is a naturally occurring inorganic solid with a crystalline structure and a definite chemical formula. Most minerals are formed from the cooling or evaporation of solutions containing the elements necessary for mineral formation.
What state of matter is not present at the temperatures and pressures naturally found on Earth?
Plasmas require immense heat and pressure to form.
Where does nuclear fusion naturally take place in the universe?
Nuclear fusion naturally takes place in the core of stars, where high temperatures and pressures allow hydrogen atoms to combine and release energy.
What must a solid have to be classified as a mineral?
The way it breaks
How would you characterize the nature of competition in the restaurant industry. Are there submarkets with distinct competitive pressures. Are there important substitutes that constrain pricing?
Restaurants certainly compete with each other for business. There are many restaurants that serve the same style of food, and these restaurants are often in competition.
How do you make a diving bell?
A diving bell must be able to withstand monstrous pressures. Therefore, the exterior has to be of high tensile metal or carbon composites. An artificial atmosphere is necessary as well as advanced communication features.
Where would you find a nuclear fusion reaction naturally ocurring?
Nuclear fusion occurs naturally in the hearts of stars. To a lesser extent, it can happen in very massive planets (more than, say, 13 times the mass of Jupiter), where temperatures and pressures in the core are sufficient to cause hydrogen and deuterium to fuse.
How is artificial selection evidence for evolution?
Artificial selection, the process by which humans select certain traits in organisms to breed, mimics natural selection by showing that organisms can be changed through selective pressures. It demonstrates that organisms have the potential for variation in traits that can be passed on to offspring, supporting the idea that natural selection in the wild can lead to evolutionary change over time.
What is Difference between vacuum condenser and atmospheric condenser?
An atmospheric condenser operates naturally at atmospheric pressure (1.013bar). A vacuum condenser operates at pressures below atmospheric and will use some sort of pump to provide a vacuum.
