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: -Selective breeding (also called artificial selection) is the process by which humans use animal breeding and plant breeding to selectively develop particular phenotypic traits (characteristics) by choosing which typically animal or plant males and females will sexually reproduce and have offspring together.

Detailed explanation-3: -Artificial selection, also called “selective breeding”, is where humans select for desirable traits in agricultural products or animals, rather than leaving the species to evolve and change gradually without human interference, like in natural selection.

Detailed explanation-4: -Breeders of animals and plants in today’s world are still interested in producing organisms that will possess characteristics desirable to humans, such as high crop yields, more milk production, larger fruits, resistance to disease, high growth rate and many other phenotypical characteristics.

Detailed explanation-5: -animals that produce lots of milk or meat. chickens that lay large eggs. domestic dogs that have a gentle nature.
