• Letting plants pollinate on their own

• Crossing a labrador and a poodle to create a labradoodle

1. Artificial selection has been a big factor in the evolution of:

• Dogs

• Panda bears

• Snakes

• Jellyfish

Which statement is true comparing natural selection and artificial selection?

• In natural selection, traits benefit humans and in artificial selection, the traits benefit the species

• In natural selection, traits benefit the species and in artificial selection, the traits benefit humans

• In natural and artificial selection, the process takes hundreds of years to occur

• In natural and artificial selection, nature determines what traits will be passed down to offspring.

Artificial selection is also known as

• natural selection

• selective hearing

• genetic manipulation

• selective breeding

What is this an example of?

• natural selection

• artificial selection

What is the definition of natural selection?

• Genes that are chosen by humans such as farmers and ranchers
• Organisms that are chosen by environmental pressures such as climate, available food, predators and habitat.
• Dogs and Wolves
• Genes that are chosen by scientist and academics. 

When a farmer breeds only his or her best livestock, the process involved is.......

• natural selection

• artificial variation

• artificial selection

• survival of the fittest

the process where organisms with favorable traits are more likely to reproduce, they then pass on these traits to the next generation. Over time this process allows organisms to adapt to their environment.

• Natural Selection

• Survival of the Fittest

Which of the following is a condition needed in order for natural selection to occur?

• Variation in traits

• Difference in fitness

• Inheritability of traits

• Ability to eat new foods
