Question

over many generations man has chosen certain desirable characteristics in dogs by allowing dogs possessing those characteristics to reproduce. in this way, 150 breeds of dogs, all the same species, have descended from wolves. this process is referred to as
multiple choice
inheritance of acquired traits.
natural selection.
artificial selection.
convergent evolution.

Explanation:

Artificial selection is when humans choose which organisms reproduce based on desirable traits. In the case of dog - breeding, humans have selected certain traits over generations, leading to different dog breeds from wolves. Inheritance of acquired traits is not a valid evolutionary concept in the modern sense. Natural selection is driven by environmental factors, not human choice. Convergent evolution is when unrelated species develop similar traits due to similar environments, not applicable here.

Answer:

C. artificial selection
