Artificial Selection
Selection is when an individual has preferred genotypes to survive and reproduce. Individuals are eliminated by both natural and artificial means. Artificial Selection, also called selective breeding, is when humans act as an artificial controlling factor by manipulating heritable variations in a species. The way we do this is by isolating genotypes we deem desirable in a suitable environment. For example, vegetables sold in supermarkets have been specially selected and bred to have the best possible quality and have good sales.
