NEET BIOLOGY

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 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. People have been artificially selecting plants and animals for thousands of years.

Detailed explanation-3: -These processes mirror the natural process of natural selection by acting on the heritability of preferred genetic traits of organisms. Unlike natural selection, in artificial selection, humans decide which traits of an organism are desirable and selectively breed the organism to display the trait.

Detailed explanation-4: -Introduction. Artificial selection is distinct from natural selection in that it describes selection applied by humans in order to produce genetic change. When artificial selection is imposed, the trait or traits being selected are known, whereas with natural selection they have to be inferred.

Detailed explanation-5: -Selective breeding versus natural selection Selective breeding is also known as artificial selection. Artificial selection is driven by human intervention.
