They are the selective agent in natural selection ;)
The 'agent' doing the selecting in natural selection is the way organisms interact with one another and with their environment.
DNA
No because theres no selective advantage
In natural selection, the animals take time and evolve slowly. In selective breeding, humans can transfer genes from one organism into another organism.
A lion is naturally selected, at least in the wild. Dogs are selectively breed.
selective breeding and genetic resistance
Yes. Evolution via punctuated equilibrium still depends on natural selection. In punctuated equilibrium there are long periods in which most species are well-suited to their environments, and so there is is little selective pressure to change. These periods are punctuated by times of more rapid environmental change and greater stress, which results in greater selective pressure for populations to change.
natural selection
The environment in either the pattern or design sense.
Natural Selection is different from Selective Breeding beacuse the environment controls the traits the animal or plant gets. Selective Breeding is the traits desired are the ones bred
Think GMO crops. Not natural selection, we selected them artificially
The similarity between natural selection and selective breeding is that they both produce changes in plants and animals.
These plants and animals were subjected to artificial selection so that the traits humans wanted in the organisms were selected for and the organisms not having these traits were culled. This, with some modification, is a good analogue for natural selection and artificial selection shows how organisms can be shaped over time with the proper selective pressures. The selective pressure of humans in artificial selection and the selective pressure of the environment in natural selection.
Through selective breeding or by natural selection.
is dog breeding an example of natural selection
The only thing that causes evolution is Mutations due to forced natural selection of desired alleles.
No because theres no selective advantage
