A type of artificial Selection where humans specifically choose parents with desirable traits to produce offspring with those same traits

Differences in the genes of individuals within a population

Different version of a gene

Observable traits

The likelihood that a trait will be passed from parents to offspring

Characteristics of living things

The collection of alleles an organisms has

A structured effort to control which animals or plants are bred to ensure the continuation of specific traits

The process by which wild animals and plants are adapted over time to live alongside humans

Crossbreeding of different species or varieties to create offspring with a combination of desirable traits

When animals or plants with similar genetic backgrounds are bred together

An organism's ability to adjust its observable traits in response to environmental factors

A type of genetic bottleneck that happens when a new population is started by just a few individuals

When a population genetics diversity is significantly reduced and only a few individuals contribute to the gene pool.
