natural selection
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Selective breeding (also called artificial selection) 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-2: -Selective breeding and genetic disorders This process involves the selection and breeding of animals with desirable characteristics, leading to offspring that inherit the same traits. But selective breeding, when taken to the extreme, can lead to the development of genetic disorders.

Detailed explanation-3: -Selective breeding is also known as artificial selection. Artificial selection is driven by human intervention.

Detailed explanation-4: -Selective breeding, also known as artificial selection, is a process used by humans to develop new organisms with desirable characteristics. In selective breeding, a breeder chooses two parents with beneficial phenotypic traits to reproduce, yielding offspring with those desired traits.

Detailed explanation-5: -Selective breeding Most dog breeds were originally selected for particular purposes, such as hunting or guarding property. Humans selectively bred dogs that were best suited for the various roles required of them, based on their fitness, ability and utility.
