How is Natural Selection different from Artificial Selection?

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-coloredmoths to adapt to their environment. Like the tree barks they live on turning black, they too would turn dark-coloredfor 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.

Natural selection acts on variation by?

Natural selection acts on variation by picking out from a population's gene pool those that are more fit to survive. More variation leads to more natural selection. For example, currently endangered cheetas are found out to have less genetic variation than other animals. As a result, if a disatrouous event occured, there are no genes that could help the cheetas survived. Thus, natural selection prevent the cheetas from reproducing as a population and they become extinct.
