Word Bank Selective breeding Hybrid Population Real Crop species Diverse Traits Domestic Uniform Artificial CLOZE 3 occurs when humans take control of the breeding process. The favorable to be passed on are chosen by the breeder to create a new or improved variety. Farmers have bred like corn, to produce more food in a smaller area. These plants result by crossing parent plants for their desired traits. animals, like dog breeds, have also been bred to be incredibly compared to the diversity of their ancestors. This selecting of traits is also known as selection. Similar to natural selection, the of a species changes over time, and some traits become more common.arrow_forward
