Solution

Artificial selection is a man-made selection. It is the commonest method of producing new races of animals by man. The artificial breeding of crops over many centuries has led to humans using only a few strains of each of the major crops, such as corn. Sometimes because of epidemics, the cultivation may be interrupted, this could disturb a huge population of the world supply
