____ is when humans select which traits are better or more useful.
A
artificial selection
B
natural selection
C
sexual selection
D
directional selection
Explanation: 

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: -Main Difference – Natural Selection vs Artificial Selection The main difference between natural and artificial selection is that natural selection produces a great biological diversity whereas artificial selection produces varieties of organisms such as improved crops and livestock.

Detailed explanation-3: -Artificial selection has both positive and negative effects. Positive effects include greater improvements in plants and animals to allow our population to survive. Negative effects include increased risk of genetic diseases. Artificial selection is different from natural selection.

Detailed explanation-4: -Artificial selection is the process by which humans choose individual organisms with certain phenotypic trait values for breeding. If there is additive genetic variance for the selected trait, it will respond to the selection, that is, the trait will evolve.

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
