Question

question 14 1 pts breeding programs for farm - raised chickens result in a variety of unusual colors and feathers. is this an example of evolution? no. domesticated animals do not undergo evolution. no. evolution occurs over long periods of time and cannot be observed. yes. chickens that are better adapted to the environment will survive and breed. yes. the change in chicken coloration is a genetic change in the population over time.

Explanation:

Evolution is defined as a change in the genetic composition of a population over time. The breeding programs for farm - raised chickens lead to changes in coloration and feathers, which are genetic changes in the chicken population. Domesticated animals can undergo evolution, and while evolution often occurs over long periods, it can also be observed in shorter - term scenarios such as in these breeding programs. The better - adapted chickens surviving and breeding is a part of natural selection, but in this case, it is artificial selection (human - controlled breeding) that is driving the genetic change.

Answer:

Yes. The change in chicken coloration is a genetic change in the population over time.
