question 12 1 pts a biologist develops a strain of corn with lower fat content by choosing low fat variants and crossing them over a period of several generations. this is an example of artificial selection convergent evolution natural selection adaptation mutation
Artificial selection is when humans choose specific traits in organisms and breed them to pass on those traits. Here, the biologist is choosing low - fat variants of corn and crossing them, which is a human - directed breeding process. Convergent evolution is when different species independently evolve similar traits. Natural selection is the process by which organisms better adapted to their environment survive and reproduce. Adaptation is a trait that helps an organism survive in its environment. Mutation is a change in the DNA sequence.
