Explain the historical and modern impact of selective breeding (artificial selection) on food plants and domesticated animals.
Outline the multi-generational process of selective breeding, from selecting parents with desired traits to breeding their offspring.
Identify key reasons for selective breeding, such as disease resistance in crops, increased yield in livestock, gentle temperaments in domestic dogs, and aesthetic floral traits.
Assess the risks associated with selective breeding, specifically the negative health consequences of inbreeding and reduced genetic diversity.
