Selective breeding uses natural biological means to alter genetics--example is using a pollen from one strain to fertilize another strain and so "cross" the gene pools.While on the on the hand genetic engineering artificially goes into the chromosomes to edit them--an unnatural process. Example--a cold water fish gene is put into a crop so that it won't freeze in the winter. This would not naturally occur.

Would a lion and cheetah be able to breed?
Yes with selective breeding. This is when humans breed different animals to create a new breed.
What selective breeding technique used to breed purebred racehorses is?

...transform the breed accordingly.
What is a form of genetic engineering in which plants or animals are selected to breed and give offspring with desirable characteristics known as?
Selective breeding. It's how all traditional domesticated crops and animals were modified from their wild precursors. Think wolf -> dog.
How do you make miniature donkeys?
By Selective Breeding. This is when you pick out the certain animals, and breed them and breed them until they have certain charectoristics.
How does selective breeding differ from genetic engineering?
Selective breeding uses natural biological means to alter genetics--example is using a pollen from one strain to fertilize another strain and so "cross" the gene pools.While on the on the hand genetic engineering artificially goes into the chromosomes to edit them--an unnatural process.
