How does selective breeding support Darwin's hypothesis about evolution?
Answer (3)
Over the year of evolution, only the strongest survived and reproduced. So, having this happen over millions of years, species got stronger and stronger. For example, if there were two species of monkey's, one with fangs, one without fangs. The species with fangs would survive, and soon all monkeys would develop fangs because all the monkeys without them would die and not reproduce. That's how the evolved into what animals are today.
It does not support his hypothesis but it gave him a clue about selecting desired characteristics. Replace the breeder by the opportunities that are in the environment and you have it. Breeders depend on variations to deliver new characteristics. If reproduction did not vary between generations, breeders will not get any new characteristics
according to David Chan, ;
Selective breeding showcases how humans can influence traits in plants and animals, mirroring the natural selection process proposed by Darwin. Both methods rely on the same principle of variations leading to advantageous traits over generations. This evidence supports the idea that species can evolve from common ancestors through natural mechanisms.
