What is artificial selection?

• Natural changes in species over time

• Human intervention in animal breeding

• Random mating in the wild

• Climate effects on species

What is the difference between natural and artificial selection?

• Natural selection involves human intervention, while artificial does not.

• Artificial selection is guided by nature, while natural selection is guided by human choices.

• Natural selection is driven by environmental factors, while artificial selection is driven by human preferences.

• Both selections are driven by human needs and desires.

• The process by which humans use animal breeding and plant breeding to selectively develop particular phenotypic traits.

• A natural process that occurs without human intervention.

• A genetic engineering technique.
