Which statement best describes why artificial selection is not a favored conservation strategy? Conservation saves weaker species, leaving stronger species behind to reproduce. Artificial selection decreases the rate of natural selection and change within a population. Artificial selection reverses natural selection by selecting species most adapted to survive. Individuals selected for breeding may have abnormalities not common to the population.

Not only did I take the test and get this question correct, but also because "Individual organisms can be genetically manipulated for a specific trait. A change in a specific trait can be beneficial or detrimental to the survival of a population."

This population will continue to increase in height as a result of recurrent selective breeding over several generations.
The selective breeding that produced the hundreds of current dog breeds has put purebred dogs at risk for a wide range of health issues, both impacting the body and temperament.
