Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -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-3: -Broccoli, cauliflower, Brussel sprouts, cabbage, kale, and kohlrabi are all the result of selective breeding of a single wild mustard species, Brassica oleracea. Traits of the wild mustard flower buds were artificially selected for and bred to create broccoli and cauliflower.
