The appropriate answer is - C. genus and species. The scientific nomenclature of an animal reflects its genus and species. The first part denotes the genus, which in this instance is Canus, while the second part indicates its species, here being nipponicus. All living beings are categorized systematically: kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, species. For instance, if we consider the wolf as an example, its classification is as follows: Kingdom: Animalia, Phylum: Chordata, Class: Mammalia, Order: Carnivora, Family: Canidae, Genus: Canis, Species: C. Lupus.
Answer:
The correct answer is -
a. - as the distribution of the phenotype diminishes
b. -cross sunflowers exhibiting the greatest phenotypic variance
Explanation:
Artificial selection refers to the practice of breeding plants or animals for particular desired traits by consciously choosing which individuals reproduce.
-Variance indicates how individual traits differ from the average characteristics of the species or how they deviate from the mean, demonstrating the degree of measurement differences.
-If the distribution remains unchanged, variance indicates no variation. However, if the spread indicates a range change in measurements, the variance will also change.
