Something "artificial," as opposed to "natural." In general, man is considered the artificial selector when it comes to animal husbandry or the creation of new plant hybrids.

What is one factor that affects natural selection and artificial selection?
Variation in the organisms under selection. In both artificial selection and natural selection there must be heritable variations that have the possibility of being in the case of artificial selection what the selector wants in the organism and in thje case of natural selection survivability and reproductive advantages.
How do humans affect artificial selection?
Humans directly affect artificial selection. They do this by selecting the specific traits that they prefer which they cannot don in a natural selection.
Is artificial selection or selective breeding a good analogy for the selection that occurs in nature?
It is possible to have artificial selection in nature because of naturally occurring changes in the environment. These changes can greatly modify the organisms in question.
What are 4 factor Darwin's used for his theory of evolution?
Artificial Selection, Sexual Selection and Natural Selection.
A farmer's use of the best livestock for breeding is an example of?
artificial selection
Is artificial slelction part of darwin's theory?
As an example of the selective mechanism, but artificial selection is directed by men and usually has a definite goal in mind. Natural selection is the selection of favorable variants, something like artificial selection, against the backdrop of the immediate environment. Artificial selection selects traits beneficial to the men doing the selection, while natural selections selects traits beneficial to the organism. Still, genes are changed over time in populations with both methods.
When a farmer selects and breeds his or hers best livestock the process involved is?
The process is called artificial selection.
Cows that give more milk than other cows are an example of?
Natural variation, natural selection, artificial selection, genetic engineering, etc.
When was Some theorems on artificial selection created?
Some theorems on artificial selection was created in 1934.
What role does the environment play on natural selection?
Nature plays no direct role in artificial selection. That is the difference between artificial selection and natural selection. Nature does play some indirect roles in artificial selection. One indirect role is in providing the organisms with which one beings the artificial selection. Another is in influencing the choices of the organism performing the artificial selection.

Type of selection in which human select the variation?
Artificial selection.
Which type of selection in which humans select the variations?
This type of selection is called artificial selection.

How does evolution via artificial selection differ from evolution via natural selection?
If it evolution via natural selection then it is the natural that selects what traits should be passed on, for example having leg is better land animals then organisms that have leg will survive and ones that don't will die, this is natural selection, of course this happens over a long period of time. Evolution via artificial selection is where human selects the animal, perhaps the mutation may be eliminated in the wild but we think that it is suitable for our life so we mass produce the organism with that desirable trait. Like peas, ancient peas have to explode out of their pods to spread seeds but that is not good for us but then maybe one day a mutation occured and the pea pod will not explode, then we take it and breed many of that.
Why did artificial selection interest Darwin?
He noticed a lot of variation in domesticated plants and animals. Darwin saw artificial selection as a means of understanding natural selection.
