Selective breeding produces exactly what the person doing the selective breeding needs or wants. Today many Farming industries selectively breed their produce to have certain traits that seem more appealing to the customer buying their vegetables or fruit such as size and color(in respect to what the fruit is naturally like, in other words your not going to create purple apples)
Selective breeding is when a species is purposely breed to have certain characteristics.
Ex. lots of dogs are breed to have a shiny coat, of a certain color of fur etc.
Natural selection is having nature choose your characteristics.
Ex. On the Galapagos Islands, the finches have different depths of beaks. All they eat are seeds. The beaks ranges from 6 to 14 mm deep when the rainfall is normal. During years of drought, the seeds they eat have less water and the seeds are large and tough to crack open. Then, the finches with small beaks won't be able to crack the seeds open because they have weaker beaks than finches with larger beaks. The small beak finches die of starvation and the large beak finches live to pass on their genes of having large beaks. Over time, the finches with small beaks all die off and there will only be finches with larger beaks. This is natural selection.
