Answer Details
In artificial selection, the goal is to breed individuals with desirable traits. In order to achieve this, individuals without the desired traits may be prevented from mating. Sterilization is one method of preventing individuals from mating. By sterilizing an individual, they are unable to produce offspring, and therefore their genes will not be passed on to the next generation. This allows only individuals with desirable traits to reproduce and pass on their genes, increasing the frequency of those traits in the population over time.
