Natural selection is when the traits that make an organism survive and reproduce better in their environment become more common. An example of natural selection would be light moths changing to dark-colored
moths to adapt to their environment. Like the tree barks they live on turning black, they too would turn dark-colored
for better survival and an advantage to hide from predators.
Artificial selection is intentional breeding for certain traits. An example would be a florist breeding two pretty plants to get a pretty plant
..yeah,
bad example but you get the idea lol.

How did artificial selection influence Darwins thinking?
Maybe u should actually answer because i'm to tupid to know the answer/ The artificial selection although controlled by the choices of humans created novelty in the races. During natural selection the environment is responsible for selecting the best types. Darwin's ideas of natural selection were based on the fact of struggle for existence and survival of the fittest. Thus by artificial selection some of the races have been developed which can sustain the present environmental conditions. this has contributed to his ideas.
How is natural selection used in artificial selection?
Natural variation in artificial selection is used because humans choose from among the naturally occurring variation s in species. Natural selection is related to species fitness because Darwin called natural selection survival of the fittest because those that could survive would carry their species on there for being the naturally selected.
Is artificial selection an agent of evolutionary change?
NO. Both artificial and natural selection are forms of Evolution in general. Both cause variation by selection within a particular population. The only difference is who is doing the selection, humans or nature.
How is mutation and natural selection similar?
Both establish that: 1. There are limited reproductive opportunities 2. Only those organisms with "favorable" traits will be allowed to reproduce and pass the traits onto their offspring The difference is that artificial selection involves human intervention
What type of selection that humans control?
Artificial selection.Artificial selection is the selection, by humans, of which individual plants or animals to breed from. In this way desirable characteristics, such as increased yield or disease resistance, can be preserved or improved.Charles Darwin used artificial seletion as a model for how evolution could take place in nature, where competiton between individuals replaced the selective action of humans. He called the natural process 'natural selection'.See http://evolution.berkeley.edu/evosite/evo101/IIIE4Evochange.shtmlfor an excellent account.
Cows that give more milk than other cows are an example of?
Natural variation, natural selection, artificial selection, genetic engineering, etc.
What is one factor that affects natural selection and artificial selection?
Variation in the organisms under selection. In both artificial selection and natural selection there must be heritable variations that have the possibility of being in the case of artificial selection what the selector wants in the organism and in thje case of natural selection survivability and reproductive advantages.
What is the difference between the processes of natural selection and artificial selection?
the difference between the 2 r that natural is the best looking or tasting and artificial is fake

What is the difference between artificial selection and natural selections?
natural selection occurs due to natural phenomena (e.g. changes in diet or predators).artificial selection occurs due to human generated phenomena (e.g. breeding or domestication).
What role does the environment play on natural selection?
Nature plays no direct role in artificial selection. That is the difference between artificial selection and natural selection. Nature does play some indirect roles in artificial selection. One indirect role is in providing the organisms with which one beings the artificial selection. Another is in influencing the choices of the organism performing the artificial selection.
How are artificial selection and natural selection similar?
Natural selection and artificial selection both involve an organism's traits being determined by how much they're favored. Then, the organisms with favorable traits pass those traits on to future generations.However, natural selection is caused by survival; the organisms with traits that increase their chances for survival and reproduction pass on their traits. As for artificial selection, humans purposefully decide which traits (like the most colorful one) of an organism to pass on.The similarity of artificial selection and natural selection is that they both can cause changes in the frequency of population.
What are 4 factor Darwin's used for his theory of evolution?
Artificial Selection, Sexual Selection and Natural Selection.
What drives the rate of diversity change?
Natural selection, Evolution, Artificial selection, disasters
