There are different ways means of selection. Domestication of plants and animals is seen as a form of artificial selection because the process of domestication itself is known to be an artificial form of selection.

This is because one can easily makes selection of traits based on personal characteristics needed.

It is said to lack the control of fitness needing to increase fitness and as such artificial selection can cause problem traits to be popular among species.

Controlled breeding leads to prezygotic selection which is a key element to domestication. This is due to the fact that captive breeding allows for the strongest, most straightforward artificial selection.

What are the<br> effect of wind on temperature of a place.

Alinara [238K]

Explanation:

Effects of Wind

on forecasted temperatures

At night, the earth's surface cools by radiating heat off to space. The strongest cooling takes place right near the surface while temperatures at roughly 3000 feet are actually warmer than those at the surface. On a windy night, some of the warmer air aloft is mixed down towards the surface. This occurs because the winds are faster aloft than at the surface.

To visualize this, place one hand over the other about six inches apart. The bottom hand represents the air near the surface and the top hand represents the warmer wind higher up. Move the bottom hand slowly and the upper hand faster (to indicate the faster winds aloft). The faster air above and slower air below causes the air to overturn or spin (as in the picture below). This overturning motion is how warmer air from above is transported downward on windy nights.
