Which of the following best describes the process of artificial selection in organic chemistry?
A
A method used to synthesize complex organic molecules by selecting specific reactants.
B
A process where humans select specific traits in organisms to enhance desired characteristics.
C
A procedure for determining the molecular weight of organic compounds.
D

Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the concept of artificial selection: Artificial selection is a process where humans intentionally select specific traits in organisms to enhance or modify desired characteristics. This is not directly related to organic chemistry but rather to biology and genetics.
Analyze the options provided: The problem presents four options, each describing a different process or technique.
Evaluate each option: The first option describes a method for synthesizing complex organic molecules, which is a chemical synthesis process. The second option correctly describes artificial selection as a biological process. The third option refers to determining molecular weight, which is a physical chemistry technique. The fourth option describes a separation technique based on boiling points, known as distillation.
Identify the correct description: Based on the understanding of artificial selection, the second option is the correct description as it aligns with the biological process of selecting traits in organisms.
Conclude the analysis: Artificial selection is not a chemical process but a biological one, and the correct answer is the option that describes it as a process where humans select specific traits in organisms.
