Selective breeding

Topic

Selective breeding, also known as artificial selection, is the process by which humans use animal and plant breeding to selectively develop particular phenotypic traits by choosing which organisms will sexually reproduce. This practice has been used for millennia to domesticate animals into specific breeds and plants into distinct varieties, cultivars, or crops.
