What is the difference between artificial selection and natural selection?

Natural selection is when 'nature chooses' the organism with the favourable characteristics to survive. E.G. Giraffe's Long-necked giraffes are 'chosen by nature' because they have the favourable characteristic of being tall, which allows them to reach higher branches in higher trees. Whilst shorter-necked giraffes cant reach this food source and as the shorter trees run out of vegetation, the shorter-necked giraffes will end up dead Artificial selection is when 'man-chooses' the organism that he wants because of their favorable characteristics E.

G Choosing the 'fat' cows to breed to produce more fat cows because they have more meat in them. This will in-turn affect the numbers of the 'skinner' cows with undesirable characteristics Artificial selection is where man selects organisms with useful characteristics to him whereas natural selection is the process whereby nature selects the fittest organisms A2 Some social insects such as ants employ aphids to grow fungi, it follows that the ants also have a part to play in Artificial Selection, in both the aphids and the fungi. So it is not just man.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
