Detailed explanation-1: -Artificial selection is the identification by humans of desirable traits in plants and animals, and the steps taken to enhance and perpetuate those traits in future generations.

Detailed explanation-2: -Artificial selection, also called “selective breeding”, is where humans select for desirable traits in agricultural products or animals, rather than leaving the species to evolve and change gradually without human interference, like in natural selection.

Detailed explanation-3: -Artificial selection, often known as selective breeding, is the action of humans identifying desired qualities in animals and plants and breeding these traits to produce desirable phenotypic traits.

Detailed explanation-4: -After dogs were initially domesticated-likely between 15, 000 and 30, 000 years ago-people picked the best hunters, house guards, and herding animals to be their best friends, depending on their needs. There were dogs for war and for cuddling, for fur and meat, and for being good companions.

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
