Common mistake
Confusing natural selection with selective breeding
Students often think that natural selection itself can be directly accelerated by humans, rather than recognising that selective breeding is a human‑led process that mimics natural selection to achieve desired traits.
Explain that natural selection is an unguided process acting on variation in a population, while selective breeding is a deliberate, human‑controlled method of choosing parents with favourable traits to produce offspring with those traits more quickly, thereby speeding up the effect of natural selection on food production.
