Artificial selection
Explanation:
- Artificial selection in simple words means breeding of plants and animals intentionally
- Dog breeding is an example of artificial selection
- In case of dogs selective breeding is done where we select for desirable traits,rather than leaving the species to evolve and change gradually without any interference, like in natural selection
- There are mainly three types of dog breeds:pure breed,cross breed and mixed breed
- Pure breed is the one that has never mated with another breed;may include pure breed of German Shepherd
- Cross breed is the one that is the offspring of two different types of pure breeds;may include pure breed German Shepherd mated with a pure breed husky
- Mixed breed is the one which is a combination of multiple breeds whose parents were not pure breed;many possible combinations can be present
