Selective breeding involves traditional breeding and modern genetic engineering, both leading to changes in an organism's genetic makeup. It's similar to, yet distinct from natural selection and supports the concept of evolution. ;
The two main types of selective breeding are traditional breeding, which mixes all genes from parent organisms for desirable traits, and modern genetic engineering, which alters specific genes for precise traits. Traditional breeding is less predictable, while genetic engineering is designed for controlled outcomes. Both methods ultimately aim to improve organisms but differ significantly in their processes and results.
