Detailed explanation-2: -Dog breeding is another prime example of artificial selection. Although all dogs are descendants of the wolf, the use of artificial selection has allowed humans to drastically alter the appearance of dogs.

Detailed explanation-3: -Artificial selection is an evolutionary process in which humans consciously select for or against particular features in organisms – for example, by choosing which individuals to save seeds from or breed from one generation to the next. People have been artificially selecting plants and animals for thousands of years.

Detailed explanation-4: -An example of artificial selection-Dog breeding Domestication is the act of separating a small group of organisms (wolves, in this case) from the main population, and select for their desired traits through breeding.

Detailed explanation-5: -Selective breeding (also called artificial selection) is the process by which humans use animal breeding and plant breeding to selectively develop particular phenotypic traits (characteristics) by choosing which typically animal or plant males and females will sexually reproduce and have offspring together.
