Artificial Selection Answer Artificial Selection is the breeding
of certain traits (better traits) over other traits. For example,
breeding a good male horse with excellent racing qualities with a
healthy female horse so that the offspring will have the desired
traits such as the racing qualities. Another example is breeding
good size fruits or vegetable together to keep on getting the good
size.
Selection done by humans looking to maximize traits in animals
under domestication. These traits are not always for the benefit of
the organism though. Men raise these animals and mate the ones they
think will breed true for a man favored trait and cull the rest of
the organisms by killing them, or by not allowing them to
breed.

The sun is the source of energy that heats earth's surface.
Radiation from the sun comes through the atmosphere, largely
unhindered, and warms the surface of the earth.
