Organisms therefore gradually become better-suited for their environment. But Darwin was also inspired greatly by the evolution that he saw in the traits of pigeons, not due to natural selection but rather artificial selection.]]> 2021-04-28 19:53:53 UTC https://padlet.com/s377049/iar077cwrashxwqf/wish/1470906473 s377049 https://padlet.com/s377049/iar077cwrashxwqf/wish/1470925011 Artificial selection has long been used in agriculture to produce animals and crops with desirable traits. Artificial selection appeals to humans since it is faster than natural selection and allows humans to mold organisms to their needs. By selecting which pigeons were allowed to mate, people had a profound effect on their appearances, such as the shape and size of their beaks and the color of their feathers. ]]> 2021-04-28 19:59:19 UTC https://padlet.com/s377049/iar077cwrashxwqf/wish/1470925011 s377049 https://padlet.com/s377049/iar077cwrashxwqf/wish/1470930805 Dog breeding is another prime example of artificial selection. Although all dogs are descendants of the wolf, the use of artificial selection has allowed humans to drastically alter the appearance of dogs. For centuries, dogs have been bred for various desired characteristics, leading to the creation of a wide range of dogs, from the tiny Chihuahua to the massive Great Dane.]]> 2021-04-28 20:01:09 UTC https://padlet.com/s377049/iar077cwrashxwqf/wish/1470930805 s377049 https://padlet.com/s377049/iar077cwrashxwqf/wish/1470936014 Selective breeding is the process by which humans use animal breeding and plant breeding to selectively develop particular phenotypic traits by choosing which typically animal or plant males and females will sexually reproduce and have offspring together. Artificial selection is based on the desirable characters selected by humans. Only beneficial or favorable traits are inherited over the successive generations by natural selection.]]> 2021-04-28 20:02:43 UTC https://padlet.com/s377049/iar077cwrashxwqf/wish/1470936014
