Explanation:

Artificial selection involves humans deliberately breeding organisms for specific traits. In the case of dogs, humans have chosen to breed dogs with particular characteristics (like size, coat type, temperament) over generations to create different breeds. Natural selection is driven by nature (e.g., survival and reproduction based on environmental factors). Competition is about organisms vying for resources. Mating selection is more about mate - choice within a species (not human - directed in the context of breed creation).

Artificial Selection
