Detailed explanation-1: -Selective breeding involves choosing parents with particular characteristics to breed together and produce offspring with more desirable characteristics. Humans have selectively bred plants and animals for thousands of years including: crop plants with better yields.
Detailed explanation-2: -Artificial selection is the process by which humans choose individual organisms with certain phenotypic trait values for breeding. If there is additive genetic variance for the selected trait, it will respond to the selection, that is, the trait will evolve.
Detailed explanation-3: -Eugenics is essentially selective breeding applied to humans.
Detailed explanation-4: -Selective breeding is a process in which humans breed specific parents to create offspring with desirable characteristics. Examples include dogs bred for specific work tasks or fruit bred to be sweeter.
Detailed explanation-5: -Humans are extremely slow-breeding animals. Though humans are capable of reproducing sometime in early adolescence, most humans today opt to wait until their 20’s to 30’s to have children. This is a very very long time if you want to do selective breeding.
