Making

deliberate

crosses or matings of

organisms so the

offspring will

have a desired

characteristic

derived from one

of the parents

so go to the dictionary search for a definition this is only a small one y bet you'll find better ones!!!!!

this is no help at all people go to google and look it up in an encyclopedia

What is an antonym for selective breeding?

Uncontrolled breeding is an antonym for selective breeding. It refers to breeding without deliberate selection for specific traits, allowing natural or random processes to determine the outcome.


Differences of cloning and selective breeding?

Cloning involves creating an exact genetic copy of an organism, while selective breeding involves choosing specific individuals with desired traits to breed together. Cloning results in a genetically identical organism, while selective breeding produces offspring with a mix of traits from the parents. Cloning is a more precise process with limited genetic variation, whereas selective breeding allows for more genetic diversity.


What term is used to refer to the breeding of improved varieties of plants and animals?

The term commonly used to refer to the breeding of improved varieties of plants and animals is "selective breeding." This process involves choosing individuals with desirable traits to mate and produce offspring with those traits, ultimately leading to improved genetic characteristics in the population.


What isn't an example of selective breeding?

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.

How do you define selective breeding?

Selective breeding or Artifical Selection is a theory by Charles Darwin that he included in his first book "Origin Of Species" its the opposite of the Natural Selection which states that the strongest specie will survive. The artificial selection or Selective Breeding states the human and scientific interaction to produce a new specie by modifying genetics and DNA.
