Artificial selection is used to create fruits, vegetables, and animals.
- True
- False
Hint:
Animals, fruits, and crops have all been produced through artificial selection for a very long time in agriculture.
The correct answer is 'True'.
- Agriculture has traditionally utilized artificial selection to breed crops and animals with desired features.
- Today's meats are the result of carefully bred birds, cattle, sheep, and pigs.
- Through artificial selection, several fruits and vegetables have been enhanced or even created.
- For instance, selective breeding was used to create broccoli, cauliflower, and cabbage from the wild mustard plant.
- Humans find artificial selection appealing because it occurs more quickly than natural selection and enables them to tailor organisms to their purposes.
