Can selection cause evolution in a single generation?

Evolution by artificial selection is largely responsible for many of the most desirable traits in agricultural species of plants and animals that feed the modern world. Additionally, much of the diversity we see in pet species from dogs to pigeons is the result of human-directed evolution by artificial selection. When breeders and farmers select only individual animals or plants with desirable traits to reproduce, this can lead to the evolution of those species and the resulting and often dramatic change can occur rapidly when compared to evolution by natural selection. In this classic lab activity, students can observe artificial selection in action using Wisconsin Fast Plants.
