Tabulate the differences between natural and artificial selection under the following:
1.process occurs under Natural selection,
2. Driven by under Natural selection,
3. Rate of change under natural selection,
4. consenquences under natural selection,
1. Process occurs under Natural selection
Natural Selection: Selection of traits occurs naturally in response to environmental pressures.
Artificial Selection: Selection of traits is carried out intentionally by humans for desired characteristics.
2. Driven by under Natural selection
Natural Selection: Driven by survival and reproductive success, where individuals with advantageous traits are more likely to survive and pass on their genes.
Artificial Selection: Driven by human preferences, where individuals with desired traits are selected for breeding.
3. Rate of change under natural selection
Natural Selection: The rate of change is gradual and occurs over many generations as advantageous traits become more prevalent in a population.
Artificial Selection: The rate of change can be relatively fast, as humans can selectively breed individuals with desired traits in a controlled manner.
4. Consequences under natural selection
Natural Selection: Results in populations becoming better adapted to their environment, as advantageous traits are favored over time.
Artificial Selection: Can result in populations with extreme and sometimes unnatural variations in traits, as humans may prioritize specific traits that may not necessarily benefit the organism in its natural environment.
