in one to two sentences, explain the difference between natural selection and artificial selection. How does the selection criteria differ between the two.
1 answer
Natural selection is the process by which organisms with favorable traits survive and reproduce in their environment, leading to evolutionary change over time. Artificial selection, on the other hand, is the intentional breeding of organisms by humans for specific desirable traits such as size, color, or behavior. The selection criteria in natural selection are based on survival and reproductive success in the natural environment, while the selection criteria in artificial selection are based on human preferences or goals.
