• 

Organize these options into the right categories. There will be four benefits and four risks.

Groups:

(a) Benefits of Selective Breeding

,

(b) Risks of Selective Breeding

• Less ability to survive changes in an environment

• decreased diversity

• Can lose traits that were once beneficial

• better tasting food

• safer than genetic engineering

• Increased chance for diseases

• desired traits are produced

• fitter and stronger plants and animals
