Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
An example of selective breeding is
A
a dog breeder mating 2 dogs to make more dogs
B
a farmer grows bees to pollinate the plants on his farm
C
a person pollinates 2 white rose plants to only create white roses
D
None of the above
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 process by which humans use animal breeding and plant breeding to selectively develop particular phenotype traits (characteristics) by choosing which typically animal or plant males and females will sexually reproduce and have offspring together is called selective breeding.

Detailed explanation-3: -Inbreeding is a type of selective breeding that crosses two organisms with similar genetic traits. Hybridization is a type of selective breeding that crosses two organisms with different genetic traits. Both are a form of natural selection. Both are a form of selective breeding.

Detailed explanation-4: -Explanation: Selective breeding is the process of crossing of two selected varieties having different traits to produce a hybrid having good traits of both, e.g., some breeds of sheep possess only soft under-hair.
