Selective breeding is done to increase the likely hood of certain traits desirable by the breeder. If a dog breeder liked the shape of a dog's ears, she would mate that dog with another dog with similar shaped ears. Incestuous mating occurs quite frequently in animal breeding due to the increased genetic similarity. All dogs belong to the same species, and therefor can produce viable offspring. The reason a Chihuahua and a German Shepard are so different is because of the ancient practice of selective animal breeding.

In what ways has selective breeding been useful to humans today and in the past?
Selective breeding has allowed humans to develop crops and livestock with desirable traits such as higher yield, disease resistance, and improved taste. In the past, it helped early humans domesticate animals for agriculture. Today, selective breeding continues to be crucial in ensuring food security and supporting the agricultural economy.

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 is selective breeding used for?
Creating an animal or plant with the desired traits selected.
