Here are the matching terms with short explanations/examples:

- Restriction enzymes = Enzyme that cuts DNA at a specific sequence of nucleotides.
(Used in cloning and recombinant DNA work.)

- The human practice of breeding animals or plants that have certain desired traits in the hopes of the offspring inheriting those desired traits = Artificial selection (selective breeding).
(Examples: dog breeds, crop varieties.)

- There are more than 2 alleles in the gene pool to choose from, but only 2 are inherited = Multiple alleles (an allelic series).
(Example: ABO blood group has three alleles—IA, IB, i—yet any individual inherits two.)

- Process of making changes in the DNA code of living organisms = Genetic engineering (genetic modification/gene editing).
(Techniques include recombinant DNA and CRISPR-Cas9.)
