Parents Desired Offspring Process Selective Breeding Farmers Select

The process of selective breeding involves farmers selecting parents with desired characteristics, allowing them to reproduce, offspring inheriting the alleles, and over many generations, the desired phenotype being shown in the offspring.

El proceso de cría selectiva implica que los agricultores seleccionen padres con características deseables, los hagan reproducirse, hereden los alelos los descendientes y, a lo largo de generaciones, se manifieste el fenotipo deseado en la descendencia.
