Detailed explanation-1: -Answer. Explanation: Selection by human is defiantly not natural selection. Selection by human is called selective breeding which is when two different breeds are put together to produce an offspring with special characteristics.
Detailed explanation-2: -It is one of the processes that drives evolution and helps to explain the diversity of life on Earth. Darwin chose the name natural selection to contrast with “artificial selection, ” or selective breeding that is controlled by humans.
Detailed explanation-3: -Which of the following is NOT characteristic of natural selection? All individuals in a species have the same genetic composition and survival rate.
Detailed explanation-4: -Which of the following is not a result of natural selection? Explanation: Development of genetically modified organisms is an example of artificial selection due to human intervention. Desirable organisms are allowed to generate offspring, passing on the selected genes.
