What is artificial selection (selective breeding)?

• When u take one organism like a dog and mix it with other traits you want in a dog or an organism and breeds them together

• It can be used to increase the amount of food by making more food and what you like in that food so you can have more of it

How might artificial selection be used to increase the

amount food crops, such as corn, produced?

• It can be used to increase the amount of food by making more food and what you like in that food so you can have more of it

• An organism is genetically modified by taking out one little dna to put it back in with the one you want

• Provide additional nutrients, resist insects herbicides and diseases, and provide enough food for the growing population

Provide at least two advantages and two disadvantages

of artificial selection.

• The two advantages are you get most of the traits you want and you get a new puppy. Two disadvantages that u get it is some of the traits are negative and the gene pool is less diverse

• Two similarities is that you get what you want and that it has to do with dna

  Two differences is that gmo u take out the dna and u get exactly what u want and selective breeding is when you take a dog and breed it with another and it might not turn out right . Also, that you might not always get what u want
