Artificial selection
True/False - Individuals evolve over time
True! Let's all think really hard so we can evolve Wings!
False! Populations evolve, not individuals

The change in a population over time is called

True/False - Organisms decide to change over time
False! The environment shapes organisms
True! We can be anything we need to be.
When an animal breeder or farmer chooses the best traits to produce a better livestock they are using the process of
Natural selection
Artificial Selection
