Question
Read the sentences from the passage.
In artificial selection, humans breed plants and animals based on specific characteristics. This is different than natural selection where organisms in a population naturally adapt and change, leading to more diversity and variation.
Based on this information, what is a possible negative effect of using artificial selection?
A.
Undesirable traits become more common.
B.
Genetic diversity can be lost in a population.
C.
All genetic information is inherited from one parent.
D.
It takes longer to breed desired traits than it would in nature.

B. Genetic diversity can be lost in a population.
This is a possible negative effect of using artificial selection because selecting for specific traits often leads to a limited gene pool, reducing the overall genetic variability within the population.
