Selective breeding can take a long time but helps to create plants or animals that are strong and healthy by choosing the best traits from parents. On the other hand, genetic modification can make changes more quickly and with more specific results, allowing scientists to add or remove traits directly. Someone might choose selective breeding because it feels more natural and is less controversial, while others might prefer GMOs for their potential to solve specific problems, like making crops resistant to pests or drought.
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?
