Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The meats sold today are the result of the selective breeding of chickens, cattle, sheep, and pigs. Many fruits and vegetables have been improved or even created through artificial selection. For example, broccoli, cauliflower, and cabbage were all derived from the wild mustard plant through selective breeding.
Detailed explanation-2: -The critical issue here is limits on the capabilities of selective breeding. It can only work with genes already present in the species. If all the smartness-related genes in a population end up in a single individual and that still doesn’t produce intelligence, then it’s just not going to happen.
