Which statement best describes how artificial selection can decrease a population's biodiversity?

Artificial selection removes weaker species, leaving stronger species behind to reproduce.
Artificial selection selects which traits (good or bad) are passed onto the next generation.
Artificial selection decreases the rate of natural selection and change within a population.
Artificial selection reverses natural selection by selecting species most adapted to survive.

Respuesta :

The statement 'artificial selection decreases the rate of natural selection and change within a population' describes how artificial selection can decrease a population's biodiversity. It is a human-driven process.

Artificial selection

Artificial selection refers to the human-driven process by which different organisms (either plants or animals) are selected in order to combine desired features in offspring.

In artificial selection, organisms are mated (crossed) in order to select the progeny having desired phenotypic traits.

This process (artificial selection) leads to a decrease in natural genetic variation (biodiversity), which may have negative consequences in the successive rounds of selection.
