Which of the following explains why artificial selection is described as artificial?

It is the opposite of natural selection, in which organisms adapt to their environments without human intervention.

It alludes to the process of artificial insemination, a process of unnaturally planting a fertilized egg.

It deals with synthetic or superficial genes and traits like color, markings, size, and speed.

It is the label used to show which animals have been given hormones and artificially-made nutrients.

Answer 1

Answer:Likely option 1

Explanation:Natural selection is selects for individuals with traits of increased relative fitness (fitness= ability to produce viable offspring) Artificial selection is when people select for a desired trait.

None of the choices above are great...

first option: likely the best choice by process of elimination

second option: Artificial selection doesnt necessarily have to involve artificial insemination, though it can

3rd option: traits like color, markings, size and speed are not generally superficial... traits of color, markings and physical fitness (size/speed) often increase fitness in regards to sexual selection

The final option is simply false
