HORTICULTURE

Detailed explanation-1: -Natural selection is any selection process that occurs as a result of an organism’s ability to adapt to its surroundings. Artificial selection, on the other hand, is selective breeding that is imposed by an external entity, usually humans, in order to enhance the frequency of desirable features.

Detailed explanation-2: -By selecting which pigeons were allowed to mate, people had a profound effect on their appearance, such as the shape and size of their beaks and the color of their feathers. Dog breeding is another prime example of artificial selection.

Detailed explanation-3: -In the selective breeding, it only selects the parents considering their traits that allow them to breed on their own, but in genetic engineering, the genes are being transferred. To make GM plants or animals, the genes must be isolated from different organisms. This step does not take place in selective breeding.

Detailed explanation-4: -Broccoli, cauliflower, Brussel sprouts, cabbage, kale, and kohlrabi are all the result of selective breeding of a single wild mustard species, Brassica oleracea. Traits of the wild mustard flower buds were artificially selected for and bred to create broccoli and cauliflower.
