Explanation

Artificial selection, or selective breeding, occurs when humans intentionally choose which plants or animals to breed based on desirable traits. This process has been used for thousands of years to develop specific varieties of crops and domesticated animals. Natural selection, by contrast, is driven by environmental survival without human intervention.
