Questions: Assignment 6 Artificial selection Select all of the following that are examples of artificial selection. Check All That Apply - chinese cabbage evolved as a result of farmers selecting for plants with decreased internode length - intentional choice of specific characteristics - kohlrabi evolved as a result of farmers selecting for plants with increased lateral meristematic growth - dogs are all the same species but breeds exist due to selective dog breeding by humans

The question asks for examples of artificial selection. Artificial selection, also known as selective breeding, is the process by which humans breed plants and animals for particular genetic traits.

Let's evaluate each option:

1. Chinese cabbage evolved as a result of farmers selecting for plants with decreased internode length: This is an example of artificial selection. Farmers intentionally selected plants with shorter internodes to cultivate Chinese cabbage.

2. Intentional choice of specific characteristics: This is a general description of artificial selection. It refers to the process itself, where humans choose specific traits to propagate in future generations.

3. Kohlrabi evolved as a result of farmers selecting for plants with increased lateral meristematic growth: This is another example of artificial selection. Farmers selected plants with increased lateral growth to develop kohlrabi.

4. Dogs are all the same species but breeds exist due to selective dog breeding by humans: This is a classic example of artificial selection. Different dog breeds have been developed through selective breeding for specific traits.

The correct examples of artificial selection are:

• Chinese cabbage evolved as a result of farmers selecting for plants with decreased internode length.
• Intentional choice of specific characteristics.
• Kohlrabi evolved as a result of farmers selecting for plants with increased lateral meristematic growth.
• Dogs are all the same species but breeds exist due to selective dog breeding by humans.
