The purpose of selective breeding is to isolate specific genes. The basic idea is to breed out any hybrids. For example...a flower can have either pink or white petals. Pink is dominant and white is recessive. PP for homozygous dominant (pi...

Selective breeding uses plants that exhibit the most desirable traits to pollinate for seed. The future crops that are produced from this seed are in some way better than the original plant.

Each of the 15 major crop plants, ... Examples include the facts that more crops will be developed to ward off destructive insects and plant disease, reducing the need to use pesticides, breeding more herbicide, insecticide, and fungicide tolerant crops that will allow more selective application of agricultural chemicals,

Crop plants and livestock were bred for desired qualities long before people knew anything about the science of genetics. ... Traditional methods of selective breeding have been provided with a new tool – gene technology. We now have the potential to take a gene from one organism and move it into another.

The banana's main problem is that it has become sterile and seedless as a result of 10,000 years of selective breeding. It has, over time, become a plant with unvarying genetic sameness.

Ask pupils to investigate effects of selective breeding in plants, eg by comparing the characteristics of garden peas of different varieties in terms of size, mass, colour, taste, cooking time. Ask pupils to report on variation within each variety and to provide comparisons between the varieties.
