Selective breeding involves choosing plants or animals with desirable traits to breed, which can take longer but is often seen as more natural. One advantage is that it keeps the genetic makeup of the species mostly intact, which some people prefer. However, it can be slow and may not produce the specific traits needed quickly. Genetic modification (GMO) allows scientists to directly change an organism's DNA, making it faster to achieve certain traits, but some people worry about its safety and effects on nature. A person might choose selective breeding for its natural approach, while another might prefer GMOs for their precision and speed in producing desired traits.
Compare and contrast the advantages and disadvantages of selective breeding versus genetic modification. Why might a person choose to use selective breeding over genetic modification? Why might a person choose to create a GMO over a selectively bred organism? Use three to five sentences to formulate your argument.(4 points) wight as 7th grader really short like short short
