Multiple Choice

Which of the following statements correctly describes how artificial selection differs from natural selection in the context of organic chemistry?

Artificial selection is driven by human intervention, while natural selection occurs without human influence.

Natural selection is faster than artificial selection due to environmental pressures.

Artificial selection leads to the extinction of species, whereas natural selection does not.

Artificial selection results in more genetic diversity than natural selection.

Verified step by step guidance

Understand the context: Artificial selection and natural selection are concepts primarily from biology, but they can be related to organic chemistry in terms of how certain traits or compounds are selected for specific purposes.

Define artificial selection: It is a process where humans actively choose which traits or compounds to develop or propagate, often seen in agriculture or drug development.

Define natural selection: It is a natural process where environmental pressures lead to the survival of organisms or compounds that are best adapted to those conditions, without human intervention.

Compare the speed of processes: Natural selection can be slower as it depends on environmental changes over time, whereas artificial selection can be faster due to targeted human efforts.

Evaluate genetic diversity: Artificial selection often reduces genetic diversity as specific traits are selected, while natural selection can maintain or increase diversity as a wider range of traits may be beneficial in varying environments.
