Question

2 multiple choice 2 points
what process is illustrated in this diagram showing the development of different dog breeds from an ancestral wolf?
natural selection resulting from environmental pressures
speciation caused by geographic isolation
genetic drift due to random chance in small populations
artificial selection driven by human choices in breeding

Explanation:

The development of different dog breeds from an ancestral wolf is a classic example of artificial selection. In artificial selection, humans choose which individuals will breed based on desired traits (such as size, coat type, or behavior in dogs). This is different from natural selection (which is driven by environmental pressures), speciation due to geographic isolation (which involves physical separation of populations), and genetic drift (which is due to random chance in small populations).

Answer:

Artificial selection driven by human choices in breeding
