Ok, so I have a question about different breeds of the same animals. Let's use cats as an example. There are different breeds of cats, with their own personality, fur color, eye colors, and body builds. What I want to know is how did these different breeds come about? Was it genetic or was it selective breeding?
Was it genetic or was it selective breeding?Selective breeding is genetic.

i think it depends on their environment as to how they look, it's complicated.
Selective breeding is genetic.
You don't say?

the differences in domesticated animals come from selective breeding (which is primitive genetics) overseen by humans
the differences in wild animals are due to natural selection (which is also genetics) brought about by the pressure of the local environment.

mutation, differential reproductive success, and relative genetic isolation between populations
