Question

In comparison to DNA technology, selective breeding is
A)less precise and slower.
B)faster and more direct.
C)slower and more accurate.
D)faster and safer.

Accepted Answer

Selective breeding involves selecting desirable traits and repeatedly breeding individuals with those traits to produce offspring with similar traits. This process can take many generations and is not always precise because traits can be linked to other undesirable traits or genes. In contrast, DNA technology can directly alter specific genes to produce the desired trait more quickly and precisely.
