Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Selective breeding, also known as artificial selection, is a form of biotechnology that involves deliberately choosing certain individuals with desirable traits to breed and produce offspring with those traits. It does not involve directly manipulating genes, as is done in recombinant DNA technology. Instead, it relies on natural genetic variation and the principles of inheritance to achieve desired outcomes.
