What is another name for Artificial Selection?

• Genetic Modification

• Random Mutation

• Selective Breeding

• Natural Selection

What is the main goal of Artificial Selection?

• To prevent any changes in species

• To allow species to evolve naturally

• To create new species

• To select for desirable traits in plants or animals

What is the key difference between Artificial Selection and Natural Selection?

• Artificial Selection selects for desirable traits, while Natural Selection does not

• Artificial Selection allows species to evolve naturally, while Natural Selection is controlled by humans

• Artificial Selection is faster than Natural Selection

• Artificial Selection is done by humans, while Natural Selection is random

What are some examples of desirable traits in animals that can be selected for?

• Ability to fly, camouflage, and swim

• Produce greater quantity of offspring, be more resistant to disease, and reach maturity faster

• Ability to change color, grow extra limbs, and regenerate organs

• Ability to breathe underwater, run faster, and climb trees

What are some examples of desirable traits in plants that can be selected for?

• Give a high yield, be resistant to disease, and bend easily

• Ability to produce light, make sounds, and move

• Ability to change shape, produce toxins, and attract insects

• Give a high yield, be resistant to disease, and not bend or snap in the wind

What is the result of artificial selection in dog breeds?

• They become a new species

• They lose the ability to reproduce

• They become more similar over time

• They remain genetically identical

What is an example of a vegetable that has been domesticated from the wild mustard plant?

• Carrots, potatoes, and onions

• Peppers, eggplants, and zucchinis

• Broccoli, cauliflower, and kale

• Spinach, lettuce, and radishes

What is the purpose of selectively breeding crops over generations?

• To prevent any changes in crops

• To ensure the best yield and taste in crops

• To create new species of plants

• To make crops grow faster

What is the main reason for humans to practice Artificial Selection?

• To control the evolution of species

• To allow species to evolve naturally

• To prevent any changes in species

• To speed up the process of evolution

What is the ultimate goal of Artificial Selection in agriculture?

• To create genetically modified organisms

• To eliminate all wild variants of crops

• To produce crops with the best yield and taste

• To prevent any changes in crop species
