Selective breeding is the process whereby one controls the breeding patterns of biological entities to yield specific traits. This can also mean forcing breeding to boost recessive traits in a population.Natural selection, on the other hand, results only in populations that express traits that allow for survival and further reproduction within a given environment (selection pressure).

Breeding characteristics or traits involves carefully selecting parent organisms with specific desirable traits to produce offspring that inherit those traits. This process is common in agriculture and animal breeding to improve various qualities such as size, color, or disease resistance in the offspring.


What does it mean for a pea pant to be true breeding?

A true breeding pea plant is one that, when self-pollinated, consistently produces offspring that exhibit the same traits as the parent plant. This means that the plant is homozygous for specific traits, ensuring that all resulting seeds carry the same genetic information. True breeding plants are essential in genetics for studying inheritance patterns, as they provide predictable outcomes in the traits of their progeny.
