Selective breeding involves deliberately choosing specific individuals with desirable traits to mate in order to produce offspring with those desired traits. Inbreeding, on the other hand, involves mating closely related individuals, which can result in an increased likelihood of genetic disorders and reduced genetic diversity in the population.

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.
How is selective breeding different from genetic engineering?
Genetic Engineering allows scientists to transfer genes from one organism to an organism of a different species; and in Selective Breeding organisms within the same species with certain desirable characteristics are mated to produce a new variety. The difference between the two is in Genetic Engineering manually transfers genes between species and Selective Breeding mates varieties within the same species to produce a new variety.
Does selective breeding benefit farmers?
Selective breeding can provide a preferred quality of food for the farmer. This means that the food produced will be preferred by customers, resulting in a larger sale and profit. Selective breeding can also increase the percentage yield of the food produced.However, selective breeding often means breeding the animals with relatives to achieve the 'ideal' quality. This results in a greater chance of genetic diseases being passed on. It also means that very little new genetic material is introduced into the gene pool, which means that most animals will have similar genes. When this happens, a new strain of disease could easily wipe out the entire farm as there is little variation between species.This also applies to plants.Another Opinion:Actually there's a few holes in the above answer, especially the second paragraph. Selective breeding is not just about line-breeding or inbreeding. Selective breeding is about selecting and breeding those animals that are best suited to meet the standards set by a producer. The animals that are not ideal for the goals and objectives that the producer has in mind, which are called inferior livestock, are simply culled from the herd or flock.Inbreeding or linebreeding is used as a means of selective breeding, but only has a means to purify a particular breed, to allow genetic abnormalities to raise their ugly heads in order to see which animals are carriers of these genetic diseases and whether they should be culled or not. Sure inbreeding could cause animals to have a poorer immune system, but that's only if a producer gets really careless with the inbreeding program and has no herd health or biosecurity program to prevent this from happening.So yes, selective breeding does benefit producers but only if it's used with care and a bit of common sense.
What is a cross between dissimilar individuals to bring together their best characteristics?
A hybridization. This breeding approach involves crossing two genetically diverse individuals to create offspring with a combination of desirable traits from each parent.
How are selective breeding techniques of hybridization and inbreeding opposite?
In hybridization, individuals from different breeds or varieties are crossed to produce offspring with desired traits, promoting genetic diversity. In contrast, inbreeding involves mating closely related individuals to increase the frequency of desired traits, which can lead to a decrease in genetic diversity and an increased risk of inherited genetic disorders.
What is the difference between the pollination in the first generation and the second generation?
I'm not sure of my answer but first one was natural and the second one is selective breeding.
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 is the difference between selective breeding and natural selection?
In natural selection, the animals take time and evolve slowly. In selective breeding, humans can transfer genes from one organism into another organism.
What is the difference between reptile breeding cycle and the emperor penguin breeding cycle?
heheheh
What is the difference between non-selective COX inhibitor and Cox 2 inhibitors?
non selective cox inhibitor .. inhibit both type of cox selective cox2 inhibitors ... inhibit only cox 2 !! the difference between them . is the action of cox 1 or 2 or both
How is selective breeding different from genetic engineering?
Genetic Engineering allows scientists to transfer genes from one organism to an organism of a different species; and in Selective Breeding organisms within the same species with certain desirable characteristics are mated to produce a new variety. The difference between the two is in Genetic Engineering manually transfers genes between species and Selective Breeding mates varieties within the same species to produce a new variety.
What is the difference between natural and selective breeding?
The difference between selective breeding and genetic engineering is that selective breeding is when two organisms are breed together in hope of getting an offspring with the desired phenotype, while genetic engineering is the same concept except it deals with humans.
What is the difference between exhibition and exposition?
An exhibition is a display of art. An exposition is a large exhibition of art. The difference is an exhibition is more selective.
What is the difference between selective and clear cutting?
Clear cutting removes all trees and vegetation. Selective cutting only removes the trees they want, usually the oldest and the best.
What is the difference between a breed and a species in a dog?
Breeds generally refer to animals; varieties (or cultivars) generally refer to plants. Both are the result of selective breeding by humans for certain desired traits (economic, cosmetic, etc.).
What is the difference between genetically modified plants and hybrid plant varieties which are produced by selective breeding?
Hybrid plants are selectively bred within a species (corn with corn, lilacs with lilacs, tomatoes with tomatoes, etc.), mostly by pollinating one kind of the same species with another. Genetic modification involves taking a gene or genes from one species and forcing them into the seeds of another species in a lab. Hybridization is vertical breeding (within a species) and genetic modification is horizontal breeding (between species).
What is the difference between a selective college and an open college?
a selective college looks at your grades and where you placed in high school , an open college allows anyone to recive an education as long as they can pay
