Question

9 multiple choice 1 point which of the following is an example of artificial selection? cacti growing spines dogs bred for herding moths changing color trees losing leaves in winter

Explanation:

Artificial selection is when humans selectively breed organisms for desired traits. Dogs bred for herding (like Border Collies) are an example of humans choosing specific dogs with herding - related traits (such as agility, intelligence, and a strong instinct to control livestock) and breeding them. Cacti growing spines is a natural adaptation for protection and water conservation. Moths changing color (like the peppered moth) is often due to natural selection (e.g., camouflage from predators). Trees losing leaves in winter is a natural seasonal adaptation to conserve water and energy.

Answer:

B. Dogs bred for herding
