A food scientist is determined to create a mango that looks exactly like a mango but tastes like salmon. Can this be achieved through artificial selection? Why or why not?

depends on the artificial 'materials' used and the food scientist

Explanation:

If the food scientist is skilled enough and works hard enough this it might be possible but this does seem like a difficult task i personally doubt that this could be done until next few years. :)

acid rain does not usually kill trees directly. instead, it is more likely to weaken the trees by damaging their leaves, limiting the nutrients available to them, or poisoning them with toxic substances slowly released from the soil. the main atmospheric pollutants that affect trees are nitrates and sulphates.

they are called fossil fuels
