Multiple Choice Question
The table describes two methods of artificial selection.
Gene TherapySelective Breeding
Replaces, repairs, or adds genes to treat a disease or disorder
A carrier is used to insert the gene into cells
Organisms with desired traits are selected to reproduce
More offspring are produced with the desired traits
Which method most likely requires more scientific technology to implement?
A.
gene therapy, because it requires an understanding of traits at the molecular level
B.
gene therapy, because it requires an understanding of what makes traits desirable
C.
selective breeding, because it requires an understanding of traits at the molecular level
D.
selective breeding, because it requires an understanding of what makes traits desirable

The correct answer is:
A. gene therapy, because it requires an understanding of traits at the molecular level
Gene therapy involves manipulating genes directly at the molecular level, which requires advanced scientific technology and knowledge of genetics. In contrast, selective breeding relies more on observable traits and traditional breeding practices.
