Natural Selection and Un-Natural Selection

The video discusses the shift from natural selection and random mutation, which have governed life on Earth for billions of years, to a new system of un-natural selection and non-random mutation. This is illustrated through the example of dog breeding, where humans have selectively bred wolves into various dog breeds, demonstrating un-natural selection. The video humorously contrasts the survival of a Chihuahua in the wild to highlight natural selection.

What are the two principles that have governed life on Earth for billions of years?

• Natural Selection and Random Mutation

• Artificial Selection and Genetic Engineering

• Survival of the Fittest and Evolution

• Adaptation and Speciation

What term is used to describe the human-influenced evolutionary process?

• Genetic Drift

• Random Mutation

• Un-Natural Selection

• Natural Selection

How does Un-Natural Selection differ from Natural Selection?

• It occurs only in plants

• It is a slower process

• It involves human intervention

• It is based on random changes

Which of the following is an example of Un-Natural Selection?

• Wolves evolving into different species in the wild

• Fish adapting to polluted waters

• Breeding wolves into various dog breeds

• Birds developing new beak shapes over time

What happens if a Chihuahua is released into the wild?

• It adapts quickly to the environment

• It becomes a different species

• It thrives and becomes a predator

• Natural Selection takes place
