Can humans influence traits in animals
Answers
GPT 3.5
Yes, humans can influence traits in animals through selective breeding and genetic engineering.
Selective breeding involves selecting animals with desired traits, such as size, color, or behavior, and breeding them to produce offspring that inherit those desired traits. Over time, this can lead to the development of new breeds with specific characteristics.
Genetic engineering involves directly manipulating an animal's DNA to introduce or remove specific genes that control certain traits. This can be used to create animals with desired traits or to eliminate harmful genetic disorders.
Additionally, humans can influence traits in animals through environmental factors, such as diet, training, and socialization. These factors can impact an animal's physical and behavioral development.
