Selective Breeding
Muhtasari
Every breed of dog, every variety of wheat, and every high-yield dairy cow exists because humans chose which organisms to breed together. Selective breeding - also called artificial selection - is one of the oldest technologies in agriculture, yet its genetic principles are the same ones that drive modern biotechnology.
This short but important topic covers how farmers and breeders select plants and animals with desirable characteristics, breed them over many generations, and gradually shape entire populations. You will also learn why this process carries risks, particularly the reduction in genetic variation known as inbreeding.
Malengo
- Understand how selective breeding can develop plants with desired characteristics
- Understand how selective breeding can develop animals with desired characteristics
