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: -The purpose of selective breeding is to develop livestock whose desirable traits have strong heritable components and can therefore be propagated.
Detailed explanation-3: -Animal breeding is the process of selective mating of animals with desirable genetic traits, to maintain or enhance these traits in future generations.
Detailed explanation-4: -Selective breeding: when animals with desired characteristics are mated to produce offspring with those desired traits.
Detailed explanation-5: -Artificial selection is the identification by humans of desirable traits in plants and animals, and the steps taken to enhance and perpetuate those traits in future generations.
