5.10 understand how selective breeding can develop plants with desired characteristics

Selective breeding: a form of artificial selection involving the intervention of humans in the breeding of species to produce desirable traits in their offspring.

Selective breeding in plants:
- plant species with desired characteristics are chosen to cross-pollinate and reproduce.
- the gene for desired characteristics are carried onto offspring
- offspring with best characteristics are chosen and the selective breeding process is repeated.
