Similar, but not identical. And as most species are extinct beyond repair (we´ll probably never extract good dinosaur DNA) even backcrossing with living species is impossible.

Does selective breeding benefit farmers?
Selective breeding can provide a preferred quality of food for the farmer. This means that the food produced will be preferred by customers, resulting in a larger sale and profit. Selective breeding can also increase the percentage yield of the food produced.However, selective breeding often means breeding the animals with relatives to achieve the 'ideal' quality. This results in a greater chance of genetic diseases being passed on. It also means that very little new genetic material is introduced into the gene pool, which means that most animals will have similar genes. When this happens, a new strain of disease could easily wipe out the entire farm as there is little variation between species.This also applies to plants.Another Opinion:Actually there's a few holes in the above answer, especially the second paragraph. Selective breeding is not just about line-breeding or inbreeding. Selective breeding is about selecting and breeding those animals that are best suited to meet the standards set by a producer. The animals that are not ideal for the goals and objectives that the producer has in mind, which are called inferior livestock, are simply culled from the herd or flock.Inbreeding or linebreeding is used as a means of selective breeding, but only has a means to purify a particular breed, to allow genetic abnormalities to raise their ugly heads in order to see which animals are carriers of these genetic diseases and whether they should be culled or not. Sure inbreeding could cause animals to have a poorer immune system, but that's only if a producer gets really careless with the inbreeding program and has no herd health or biosecurity program to prevent this from happening.So yes, selective breeding does benefit producers but only if it's used with care and a bit of common sense.
Do volcanic eruption increase or decrease the temperature of the earth?
increase
How would a significant decrease in the pH of rainfall be likely to affect the biodiversity among organisms in an ecosystem over time?
The number of species is likely to increase because most organisms thrive in highly acidic conditions.
Is increase up or down?
Increase means to go up or get bigger in amount. Decrease means to go down or to get smaller in amount.
Does meiosis increase or decrease biodiversity?
increase
What are the different views on selective breeding?
Selective breeding is a way of creating stronger, more efficient animals. It is reliable and can increase the price of animals because of their garuntee.
What condotions is most likely to result in a decrease in the size of populations in a temperate forest ecosystem?
Invasive species to an ecosystem results in an increase in biodiversity.
How can selective breeding benefit man?
We can increase our yield of milk, wool, fruit, and other products by selecting for those organisms with the more desirable traits.
What is the definiton of '' selective breeding''?
Selective breeding is where you breed animals or plants in such a way as to increase the desirable traits, or characteristics. By specifically selecting breeding partners with high levels of these desirable traits, the likelihood of the offspring having these traits increases. Over several generations, these desirable traits become more and more profound. For example, if farmers take only the best sheep for breeding, then they can be more assured that future generations of sheep will have the same or even improved characteristics. Selective breeding also works in a similar way when developing new crops, or the breeding of dogs for example. Its all about human intervention, where the breeding partners are chosen (or selected) by people.
What cows was developed to produce more milk?
Selective breeding, the farmer will select what bulls to breed to what cows in order to increase milk production.
