    Question

    Which of the following is correct about animal husbandry and plant breeding?

    A.

    Both are examples of artificial selection

    B.

    Both are examples of adaptive radiation

    C.

    Both are examples of natural selection

    D.

    Both are examples of anthropogenic action

    Correct option is C

    Animal and plant breeding are examples of natural selection. The modification of species by selective breeding is known as artificial selection. Interbreeding occurs when animals or plants with desired features interbreed with the goal of changing the genotype and developing a new strain of the organism for a specific purpose. More contemporary technologies of genetic engineering, genetic testing, and embryo manipulation have augmented traditional breeding approaches. The sequencing of the genomes of economically relevant animal and plant species has allowed molecular approaches to directly monitor the inheritance of desirable genes.
