Detailed explanation-1: -Selective breeding aims to adapt an organism’s characteristics in a way that is desirable to the humans that breed them.

Detailed explanation-2: -Artificial selection has both positive and negative effects. Positive effects include greater improvements in plants and animals to allow our population to survive. Negative effects include increased risk of genetic diseases. Artificial selection is different from natural selection.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -Techniques such as artificial insemination can be used to increase the selection intensity. A breeding program needs a clear set of objectives that is followed over several generations. Typically, this involves the simultaneous improvement of many traits.

Detailed explanation-5: -Artificial selection or selective breeding describes the human selection of breeding pairs to produce favorable offspring. This applies to all organisms – from virus to four-footer, and from pet to food source. Artificial selection aims to increase the productive or esthetic value of an organism to our advantage.
