a
It allows animal genes to be transferred into plant genes or plant genes to be transferred into animal genes.
This statement is FALSE with respect to selective breeding. Selective breeding, or artificial selection, involves choosing specific individuals with desired traits to reproduce, thereby increasing the frequency of those traits in subsequent generations. It does not involve the direct transfer of genes between different species. The transfer of animal genes into plant genes or vice versa is referred to as genetic engineering or transgenic modification, which is a different process than selective breeding.
Which of the following is FALSE regarding selective breeding (artificial selection)?
a
It allows animal genes to be transferred into plant genes or plant genes to be transferred into animal genes.
b
it is a technique takes advantage of naturally occurring genetic variation in a group of living things.
c
its been going on for thousands of years.
d
it is a technique that breed specific animals and plants with desired traits.
