• Genetic Modification
• Gene Therapy
• Animal Husbandry
• Selective breeding

Choosing which organisms can have offspring is_____.

• Selective Breeding
• Gene Modification
• Gene Therapy
• Animal Husbandry

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
