Detailed explanation-1: -Although they both result in genetic changes over generations, selective breeding and natural selection? are different. Natural selection is driven by environmental factors that limit survival and reproduction, such as harsh environments or competition for mates.

Detailed explanation-2: -Natural selection is a mechanism, or cause, of evolution. Adaptations are physical or behavioral traits that make an organism better suited to its environment. Heritable variation comes from random mutations.

Detailed explanation-3: -natural selection, process that results in the adaptation of an organism to its environment by means of selectively reproducing changes in its genotype, or genetic constitution.

Detailed explanation-4: -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-5: -Answer and Explanation: The above statement, “Artificial selection is not an evolutionary mechanism, ” is a false statement. Artificial selection, which can be understood with the term selective breeding, is a force of evolution since certain genes are still being “chosen” as traits which are desirable by the breeder.
