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: -Farmers and breeders allowed only the plants and animals with desirable characteristics to reproduce, causing the evolution of farm stock. This process is called artificial selection because people (instead of nature) select which organisms get to reproduce.

Detailed explanation-3: -Selective breeding involves choosing parents with particular characteristics to breed together and produce offspring with more desirable characteristics.

Detailed explanation-4: -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-5: -Natural selection is any selection process that occurs as a result of an organism’s ability to adapt to its surroundings. Artificial selection, on the other hand, is selective breeding that is imposed by an external entity, usually humans, in order to enhance the frequency of desirable features.
