Explain the difference between natural selection and selective breeding.

Natural selection is the process by which organisms with favorable traits are more likely to survive and reproduce, while selective breeding is the process by which humans intentionally breed organisms with desirable traits.

Natural selection is the process by which organisms with unfavorable traits are more likely to survive and reproduce, while selective breeding is the process by which humans unintentionally breed organisms with undesirable traits.
