Artificial selection focuses on the science behind artificial insemination while selective breeding focuses on an animal’s breed. Over many generations, there is a noticeable change in color patterns of poppies in a field.

Artificial selection focuses on an animal’s breed while selective breeding focuses on the science behind artificial insemination. Adjacent wild areas have two distinct species of deer; fossils from both areas show only one species.

Artificial selection focuses on passing certain traits onto offspring while selective breeding focuses on an animal’s breed. A farmer places all of his pigs together and allows breeding to occur randomly.

Artificial selection focuses on an animal’s breed while selective breeding focuses on passing certain traits onto offspring. A farmer mates her best milk-producing cow with a bull from a long line of high milk producers.
