Defference between artificial, and natural selection. Give one importance of each
Answers
Natural selection and selective breeding can both produce changes in animals and plants. The difference between the two is that natural selection occurs in nature, but selective breeding only occurs when humans intervene. Living organisms are dependent on the environment and other species for their survival.
Natural selection and selective breeding can both cause changes in animals and plants. The difference between the two is that natural selection happens naturally, but selective breeding only occurs when humans intervene. For this reason selective breeding is sometimes called artificial selection.
Different varieties of plants and animals with desired characteristics can be developed by selective breeding. For example:
cows that produce lots of milk
chickens that produce large eggs
wheat plants that produce lots of grain
The new varieties may be economically important. For example, they may provide more or better quality food to feed people.
