The domestication or breeding of animals to have as pets, livestock on farms, or for work purposes is a form of artificial selection. Charles Darwin used these practices to support his theory of species change by natural selection. How is artificial selection similar to natural selection? A. Artificial selection involves breeding two different species and determining if a hybrid organism can be produced.
B. By breeding animals with specific traits, breeders were able to produce a wide variety of breeds within a short period of time.
C. For artificial selection to work, only the strong survive to reproduce .
D. When animals with favorable traits are bred with animals with unfavorable traits, the offspring will have favorable traits, so breeders were changing species by removing certain traits.
