GPT 3.5
The two main differences between domesticated plants and animals from their ancestors are:

1. Genetic changes: Domesticated plants and animals have undergone genetic changes over many generations through selective breeding, leading to various physical and behavioral traits that are different from their wild ancestors. These changes are aimed at enhancing desirable characteristics such as productivity, size, docility, or taste.

2. Dependency on humans: Domesticated plants and animals have become dependent on humans for their survival and reproduction. They have adapted to living in close proximity to humans and are unable to thrive or reproduce in the wild without human intervention. This includes animals being reliant on humans for food and shelter, while plants rely on human farmers for cultivation and protection.
