In selective breeding the traits that the offspring inheirits is controlled by the person who is doing the breeding. For example if a chihuahua breeder is looking to make smaller dogs, they are gonna breed two small dogs with the hope that the puppies will inheirit their parents traits. Natural selection on the other hand is not controlled by humans. It is when offspring inheirit traits that make it more likely to survive. Organisms with certain traits are more likely to survive and reproduce. If there are some mice born, some in the litter are white and the others are brown. When these mice go to find food, the white mice are more easily seen by the keen eyes of an owl than the brown ones. Therefore the brown ones are more likely to reach reproductive age and producing mice. This continues in a cycle until the mice end up almost all being brown.

∙ 11y agoselective breeding is basically the artificial version of natural selection
natural selection is where those who adapt and survive pass there genes on to the next generation while the others die off removing the weak and adding the strong for a example. giraffes with longer necks will be able to reach the higher leaves on a tree in a famine than those with short necks and therefore they will survive and pass on the long neck gene and the short neck gene will die off
selective breeding is where you get 2 particular specimens of the same species (preferably) with the same gene and breed them usually this is done for a particular trait that the breeder wants in the next generation example a long tail short hair and long face in dogs so they can be sold into a area that has a higher temperature or long hair short tail and short face for in colder environments this tecnique has been used since the dawn of man and is the reason we have so many breeds of cats and dogs
