When a farmer breeds only his or her best livestock the process is involved is?
artificial selection artificial selection
What is variation under domestication of Darwin?
Artificial selection.
Why are cattle bred by artificial selection?
They are not. Cattle (cows and heifers) are bred either via artificial insemination, or natural breeding.
What is the most common method for improving cattle breeds?
Artificial selection.
Explain the difference between artificial and natural selection?
Artificial selection is anthropogenic -- humans interfere with nature to determine what traits get passed on, whereas natural selection is when through sexual reproduction the traits passed on are determined by survival of the fittest.
Cows that give more milk than other cows are an example of?
Natural variation, natural selection, artificial selection, genetic engineering, etc.
When was Some theorems on artificial selection created?
Some theorems on artificial selection was created in 1934.
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.
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.
How do humans affect artificial selection?
Humans directly affect artificial selection. They do this by selecting the specific traits that they prefer which they cannot don in a natural selection.
Type of selection in which human select the variation?
Artificial selection.
Which type of selection in which humans select the variations?
This type of selection is called artificial selection.
Is artificial selection or selective breeding a good analogy for the selection that occurs in nature?
It is possible to have artificial selection in nature because of naturally occurring changes in the environment. These changes can greatly modify the organisms in question.
How did Charles Darwin explain inherited variation and artificial selecton?
Darwin said that artificial selection was when nature provided the variation, and humans selected those variations that they found useful. Inherited variations are differences that are passed from parents to offspring
Why did artificial selection interest Darwin?
Artificial selection interested Darwin because it demonstrated that traits could be modified over generations through selective breeding. This process allowed humans to intentionally choose which traits were passed on to offspring, leading Darwin to realize that a similar natural process could occur in nature, driving evolution through natural selection.
Selection for desired traits that is done by humans is called?
artificial selection
How is inherited variation used in artificial selection?
In artificial selection, nature provides the variations, and humans select those they find useful.
