Selective Breeding

Real World Example

Imagine you're trying to organize your closet, but it's cluttered with clothes you rarely wear. Just as you'd sort through and keep only the clothes that fit well and suit your style, selective breeding involves choosing plants or animals with traits that are most desirable. In both cases, you're intentionally selecting the best options—whether it's clothes that match your needs or organisms with preferred traits—to create a more ideal collection, be it a wardrobe or a breed.
