Detailed explanation-1: -Natural selection is driven by environmental factors that limit survival and reproduction, such as harsh environments or competition for mates. Selective breeding is also known as artificial selection.

Detailed explanation-2: -Artificial selection (also known as selective breeding) 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.

Detailed explanation-3: -Artificial selection is also known as selective breeding. Selective breeding refers to the process of breeding plants or animals selectively.

Detailed explanation-4: -In animal breeding, techniques such as inbreeding, linebreeding, and outcrossing are utilized. In plant breeding, similar methods are used. Charles Darwin discussed how selective breeding had been successful in producing change over time in his 1859 book, On the Origin of Species.

Detailed explanation-5: -This process is called artificial selection because people (instead of nature) select which organisms get to reproduce. As shown below, farmers have cultivated many crops from wild mustard by artificially selecting for certain attributes.
