How does artificial selection (controlled by a breeder) compare to natural selection? It usually occurs at the same pace because mutations occur at the same rate. It works equally well, because both principles use the idea of hereditary traits to pass along variation to offspring. It usually is less efficient because there is no competition between individuals. It works well, but, unlike natural selection, will only be able to produce a range of phenotypes based on the initial variation seen within the initial population. It usually is more efficient because it is controlled through breeding and not reproductive success.

The natural selection is based in nature production. It follows the principle that organisms reproduce naturally without human interference. The artificial selection (controlled by a breeder) however, it's usually more efficient because it is controlled trough breeding and not reproductive success, as is in natural selection.

Artificial selection is often used in agriculture to produce more or improve quality of vegetables, fruits, etc. Also, Dog breeding is can be an example of artificial selection.
