True or False: While steroids are not allowed in chicken production, selective breeding has caused chickens to grow very large, very quickly. 1. True 2. False
In biology, selective breeding is the mechanism by which certain traits or a combination of traits are consciously selected in animal breeding or plant breeding and cultivation. Artificial selection is seen as a counterpart to natural selection, the mechanism by which, in nature, individuals are selected who are better adapted to their natural environment. Both processes have the same genetic principles and background. Man selects the individuals with the desired traits to produce progeny, making these traits more and more common.
