anonymous · Answer

Artificial selection occurs when a likeable trait is found within a member of a species. Said species is then either outcrossed or inbred with another member of the species to pass on and refine the trait. After a period of time the genes will hopefully be 'fixed' into the population.
An example of artificial selection was in England a few centuries ago when people would breed together pigeons with long tail feathers to create pigeons that had longer and longer tail feathers, which where used in women's hats. Another everyday example of artificial selection is how farmers breed together certain animals to get desirable traits (like breeding together certain cows to get one that will produce the tastiest beef or something.)
dog breeds
a dog breed is a group of genetically and phenotypically similar dogs sharing characteristic traits and bred from a stock of individuals which were selected for these traits.
