Either positive or negative traits could be selected for in nature, although selection for negative traits is extremely rare. A good example of positive selection at a rapid pace can be seen in antibiotic resistance in bacteria. Negative selection usually occurs in domesticated plants and animals. Let's say you have a very tasty strain of tomatoes. Instead of keeping some so you have seeds for next year you eat, sell or can all of them. This leaves you with no seeds, therefore you've selected out the positive traits of that particular plant.
I think this is what you are referring to.
What else can I help you with?
What is breeding of plants and animals with certain traits to produce offspring with those traits?
artificial selection
What describes artificial selection?
Artificial selection refers to the process of intentionally breeding desirable traits in either plants or animals. It is also known as selective breeding.
What are humans select organisms for breeding based on traits?
Humans use selective breeding to pass desired traits to the next generation of plants or animals.
What are the similarities and differences between Natural Selection and Selective Breeding?
The similarity between natural selection and selective breeding is that they both produce changes in plants and animals.
What are the two names of selection breeding?
The two main types of selective breeding are "natural selection" and "artificial selection." Natural selection occurs when organisms best adapted to their environment survive and reproduce naturally, while artificial selection involves human intervention to breed specific traits in plants or animals. Both methods aim to enhance desirable characteristics within a population.

What is conventional plant breeding?
it is the identification and selection of desireble plants of desired charecters
What concept is selectively breeding plants and animals to accentuate certain characteristics?
artificial selection
What are humans select organisms for breeding based on traits?
Humans use selective breeding to pass desired traits to the next generation of plants or animals.
Selectively breeding plants and animals to accentuate certain characteristics demostrates which concepts?
artificial selection
What is mass selection in plant breeding?
Mass selection is a breeding method where desired traits are selected based on the overall phenotype of the plants rather than individual performance. It involves selecting and propagating plants with desirable traits from a population to improve the overall genetic makeup of future generations. Over time, this can lead to the enhancement of certain traits within a population.
What are some of the positives and some of the negatives of the sun?
Positive - sun gives us Vitamin D and help in plants photosynthesis Negative - too much exposure may cause skin cancer

How are plants made resistant to pests?
The different methods of plant breeding for disease resistance includes seed selection, pedigree selection,recurrent selection,use of natural or artificial induced mutants etc.
What are the Positive and negatives of technology?
The positives and negatives of technology largely depend on how it is used; for example, the Internet has many positive uses but also negative ones - its not the Internet which is positive or negative, but the decisions of the users.
