Selective breeding is used to obtain a desired trait in an animal. It was originally used for working animals, like horses and dogs to breed more stamina, strength and even intelligence and obedience into them, but is now used also to get a desired look that is pleasing to potential buyers. A horse breeder who wants to breed bigger draft horses with more stamina will take a stud and a mare that fit best the traits he wants and breed them in the hopes that the resulting foal will be bigger and have more stamina.

Selective breeding is when people (scientists) breed plants/animals for their traits. Its like strong horses being bred together or like white and red flowers to make pinks flowers. They can predict what the organism will turn out to look like. An example that ISN'T selective breeding is random flowers/animals that breed not caused by humans.
Most of the domesticated plants and animals you are familiar with have been produced through selective breeding. Dogs, cats, cows, goats, corn, grass, tomatoes, etc .
An example that is not selective breeding is natural selection, which occurs when environmental pressures lead to the survival and reproduction of individuals with favorable traits without human intervention. Additionally, random mating in a wild population, where individuals breed without regard to specific traits, is also not selective breeding. Selective breeding specifically involves humans intentionally choosing parent organisms based on desired traits to produce future generations.
Biotechnology is involved in Selective Breeding.
the process of selecting a few organisms with the desired traits to serve as parents of the next generation is called what?
Another name of selective breeding can also be artificial selection.
