Definition - Selective breeding is the process of humans using animal and plant breeding to selectively acquire specific phenotypic qualities by determining which men and females would reproduce and have offspring together.
Cloning - A clone in definition is a complete genetical and physical copy of an organism down to the DNA.
List of Advantages of Selective Breeding
It requires no company patent.
It allows for higher profit.
It can create new varieties of good crops.
It does not have any issue of safety.
It helps eliminate diseases.
It influences the production of food coming from plants in a positive way.
List of Disadvantages of Selective Breeding
It may lead to a lack of variety in plant or animal species.
Genetic mutations are still going to occur.
The process of selective breeding becomes about humans only.
There is no guarantee that the desired traits will pass to the offspring.
It can create genetic bottlenecks.
