Selective breeding is the process where humans choose parents with desirable genetic traits to breed them, repeating this over generations. Characteristics selected can include disease resistance in crops, increased productivity in animals, or specific behavioral and aesthetic qualities.
Selective breeding is humans choosing and breeding organisms with desired traits over generations. Selected traits can include disease resistance, increased meat/milk production, temperament, or flower size/appearance.
| Front | Selective breeding definition: The steps(1-4) The types of characteristic that could be selected include: |
|---|---|
| Back | -The process by which humans breed plants and animals with particular, desirable genetic traits. 1-choose parents that show best genetic traits 2-breed them together 3-from the ofspring, again choose the ones with desired characteristics and breed 4-continue for generations -disease resistance in food crops -animals that produce more meat/milk -dogs with a gentle nature -large/unusual flowers |
