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

∙ 9y agoThe functions that control the expression of the genes {promoter and enhancer sequences are examples} that control the expression of the traits that are being selected for are affected so that these genes are expressed more, while the genes that control the phenotypic traits that are not desired are expressed less.
