Selective Breeding is also known as

• Natural selection

• Artificial selection

• Variation

The two examples of selective breeding are:

• inbreeding and outbreeding

• outbreeding and developing

• hybridization and outbreeding

• hybridization and inbreeding

A cross of two genetically different individuals

• hybridization

• inbreeding

• outbreeding

Crossing two individuals that have similar desirable characteristics

• hybridization

• inbreeding

• outbreeding

The process of selective breeding involves

• selecting organisms with desired traits to be the parents of the next generation

• altering an organism's DNA to produce a desired trait
