Unit 7 · 7.3 — Artificial Selection [cite: 28, 44, 46]

Everything to learn here

• Concept: Humans deliberately and selectively breed specific plants and animals with highly desired traits, rapidly shifting allele frequencies and drastically altering species morphology [cite: 13, 14].
• Lab: Lab Skill: AP Biology Required Investigation — Artificial Selection: Analyze agricultural tracking data to successfully evaluate the mathematical impact of intense artificial selection pressures across multiple continuous generations [cite: 46, 47].
• Concept: Humans influence the genetic diversity of other species by intentionally selecting for specific desirable traits through artificial selection.
• Skill: Describe trends in data to explain how human-controlled breeding programs alter the phenotypic variation of a species.
