The directed breeding of plants and animals is called :

  • A.Foraging
  • B.Natural selection
  • C.Artificial selection
  • D.Herding

Answer: C

Directed breeding of plants and animals is artificial selection.

In artificial selection, humans choose which individuals reproduce, according to the traits they want, such as larger seeds, docility or more milk. Over generations this produced domesticated crops and livestock that differ sharply from their wild ancestors.

Foraging is collecting wild plants and hunting wild animals without controlling their reproduction. Natural selection is the same process driven by the environment rather than by human choice. Herding is the management of animal flocks, which may or may not involve deliberate breeding.
