No. They function through the exact same mechanisms. The only difference is what controls the environment: whether it is in human hands or left to nature.

Example of artificial selection?

Think GMO crops. Not natural selection, we selected them artificially


What is the main similarity between the process if artificial selection and natural selection?

The similarity between artificial and natural selection is that they are both weeding out unfavorable traits for favorable traits to be well equipped for survival.


How was the domestication of animals and plants was appiled to the theory of natural selstion?

These plants and animals were subjected to artificial selection so that the traits humans wanted in the organisms were selected for and the organisms not having these traits were culled. This, with some modification, is a good analogue for natural selection and artificial selection shows how organisms can be shaped over time with the proper selective pressures. The selective pressure of humans in artificial selection and the selective pressure of the environment in natural selection.


What are the different types of selection or system of elimination?

I don't think there's a certain type as such. Selection and Elimination can be structured or random. Random is self-explanatory, structured, is based on the individual/the criterion, i.e. I will pick all the green and red Easter eggs out of a packet, etc.


Distinguish between natural selection and artificial selection?

Natural selection is the process by which organisms better adapted to their environment tend to survive and reproduce, leading to evolutionary changes over time. In contrast, artificial selection is the intentional breeding of organisms by humans to promote desired traits, such as in agriculture or pet breeding. While natural selection occurs without human intervention, artificial selection is guided by human preferences and goals. Both processes can lead to changes in species, but their mechanisms and driving forces are fundamentally different.

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.

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 the difference between artificial selection and natural selections?

natural selection occurs due to natural phenomena (e.g. changes in diet or predators).artificial selection occurs due to human generated phenomena (e.g. breeding or domestication).


How are artificial selection and natural selection similar?

Natural selection and artificial selection both involve an organism's traits being determined by how much they're favored. Then, the organisms with favorable traits pass those traits on to future generations.However, natural selection is caused by survival; the organisms with traits that increase their chances for survival and reproduction pass on their traits. As for artificial selection, humans purposefully decide which traits (like the most colorful one) of an organism to pass on.The similarity of artificial selection and natural selection is that they both can cause changes in the frequency of population.
