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: -Main steps involved Decide which characteristics are important enough to select. Choose parents that show these characteristics from a mixed population. They are bred together. Choose the best offspring with the desired characteristics to produce the next generation.

Detailed explanation-5: -Natural selection is the process through which populations of living organisms adapt and change.
