In the 2016 movie, The Thinning, starring Logan Paul and Peyton List, a group of teenagers must past a standardized test or be executed. The politicians who developed
this legislation did it because society was suffering from mass population and
legislatures wanted to thin' it out. The ways of dystopic society is a driving force
on evolution. Which mechanism of evolution best identifies this scenario?
A. Genetic drift
B. Natural selection
C. Artificial selection
D. Genetic flow

C. Artificial selection

Explanation:

This is artifical selection because it is "the identification by humans of desirable traits in plants and animals, and the steps taken to enhance and perpetuate those traits in future generations". Humans are unnaturally choosing which humans can survive! Hope this helps :D

"1. it should be, it has been for about 20 years, and it's really not much different in the end than breeding animals to have particular traits. there are always concerns about genetically engineered animals/plants affecting the environment in unexpected negative ways, but i can't think of an example where the fears didn't turn out to be baseless.  

first, as you point out, it would be a great advance in pharmacology, to be able to tailor drugs and their doses to me. the pros involve better medical treatment. the cons involve privacy issues like insurance companies denying coverage to people with genetic risk factors. looking at dna markers wouldn't affect the frequency of genetic diseases, but it would allow detection of them earlier. and ok, actually i suppose that if people used this information to avoid having children with genetic diseases, some might decrease in frequency."

some inherited genetic mutations can be good for the offspring, so the answer is different genetic mutations cause many forms of cancer.
