Artificial selection is a process in which humans deliberately breed plants or animals for specific desirable traits. In this process, humans select individuals with the desired characteristics and breed them together to produce offspring with those traits.


- Dog breeding: Humans have selectively bred dogs for specific traits such as size, coat color, temperament, and working ability.
- Agricultural crops: Farmers selectively breed crops such as corn, wheat, and rice for high yield, disease resistance, and desirable taste.
- Livestock breeding: Farmers selectively breed livestock such as cows, pigs, and chickens for meat or dairy production.


Natural selection is a process in which organisms with advantageous traits are more likely to survive and reproduce, passing on those traits to their offspring. In this process, the environment acts as the selective agent, determining which individuals are best suited to survive and reproduce.


- The giraffe's long neck: Giraffes with longer necks are better able to reach high branches for food, giving them a survival advantage and allowing them to pass on their genes for longer necks to their offspring.
- Peppered moths: In the industrial revolution, pollution caused trees to darken, making light-colored peppered moths more easily seen by predators. This caused a shift in the population, favoring darker moths that were better camouflaged.
- Antibiotic resistance: Bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics have a survival advantage over those that are not, allowing them to reproduce and pass on their resistance genes.


- Artificial selection is directed by humans, while natural selection is directed by the environment.
- Artificial selection produces rapid changes in traits, while natural selection produces slow changes over time.
- Artificial selection can lead to inbreeding and loss of genetic diversity, while natural selection promotes genetic diversity through random mutations.
- Artificial selection can produce traits that are not beneficial in the wild, while natural selection produces traits that are advantageous for survival in the environment.

Natural sele. is a nature-made...and artificial selection  is a man-made... the main difference b\w natural  & artificial selection  is that ...natural selection  produces a great biological diversity whereas....artificial selection products varieties of organisms such as improved crops and livestock.. ...
