selective breeding is basically the artificial version of natural selection

natural selection is where those who adapt and survive pass there genes on to the next generation while the others die off removing the weak and adding the strong for a example. giraffes with longer necks will be able to reach the higher leaves on a tree in a famine than those with short necks and therefore they will survive and pass on the long neck gene and the short neck gene will die off

selective breeding is where you get 2 particular specimens of the same species (preferably) with the same gene and breed them usually this is done for a particular trait that the breeder wants in the next generation example a long tail short hair and long face in dogs so they can be sold into a area that has a higher temperature or long hair short tail and short face for in colder environments this tecnique has been used since the dawn of man and is the reason we have so many breeds of cats and dogs

How are selective breeding and natural selection similar how are they different?

In selective breeding the owners of the pets will choose mates that have selected characteristics that are wanted in the offspring. They may also be repeated with future offspring. In natural breeding it is natural selection that choose and in cats their may even be more than one father and different offspring. In summary the main differences are: Selective humans choose partners with named specific characteristics where as natural if often more first come first served. Also selective breeding is often carried on through the generations whereas natural does not. Similarities are after partners are choose the rest of the process is the same.

How gentic traits inheritance differ in natural selection vs selective breeding?

In natural selection, genetic traits are passed down based on survival advantages, with organisms inheriting traits that increase their chances of survival and reproduction. In selective breeding, humans intentionally choose specific traits to be passed down, regardless of their survival advantage, with the goal of producing desired characteristics in offspring for human benefit. The main difference is that natural selection is driven by environmental factors selecting for advantageous traits, while selective breeding is driven by human intervention selecting for specific traits.


How can organisms be produced with desired trait?

Through selective breeding or by natural selection.

How is the selective breeding of dogs different than how Darwin described natural selection?

Selective breeding of dogs involves humans actively choosing specific traits for reproduction to achieve desired characteristics, such as size, temperament, or appearance. In contrast, Darwin's theory of natural selection describes a natural process where environmental pressures lead to the survival and reproduction of individuals with advantageous traits, without human intervention. While both processes result in the adaptation of species, selective breeding is a directed effort, whereas natural selection is an undirected, natural occurrence.
