Selective Breeding
Gbogbo ọrọ náà
Long before scientists understood DNA, farmers and breeders were shaping the plants and animals around them. By choosing individuals with the best traits and breeding them together, generation after generation, humans have transformed wild grasses into high-yielding wheat and wolves into hundreds of dog breeds.
In this lesson you will learn how selective breeding works in both plants and animals, examine real examples of the process, and consider the risks that come with narrowing a population's gene pool.
