SELECTIVE BREEDING GCSE Biology 9-1 | Combined Science (Revision & Qs)
Ringkasan
TLDRSelective breeding is a human-driven process to create plants and animals with particular genetic traits, such as disease resistance in crops or increased milk production in livestock. The procedure involves selecting parents with the desired traits, breeding them, and selecting offspring that display those traits for further breeding over generations. However, this practice can reduce genetic diversity and increase the risk of inherited diseases in certain breeds, exemplified by health issues in pugs. The video engages viewers with questions about the definition, examples, and ethical implications of selective breeding.
Takeaways
- 👩🌾 Selective breeding manipulates natural selection to enhance specific traits.
- 🐄 Key examples include disease-resistant crops and livestock that produce more milk.
- 🐶 Domestic dogs are bred for gentle temperaments.
- 🌸 Some flowers are bred for size and uniqueness to increase market value.
- 🧬 The process involves selecting parents with desirable traits for breeding.
- ⚠️ Selective breeding reduces genetic variation within species.
- ❗ Inbreeding can lead to increased risk of genetic defects.
- 🌟 Pugs exemplify health issues related to selective breeding.
- 🤔 Ethical concerns arise from the potential for inherited diseases.
- 📚 Questions prompt deeper reflection on selective breeding practices.

Selective breeding, a process where humans breed plants and animals for desired characteristics, has been practiced for centuries. Examples include selecting crops resistant to diseases, breeding animals for increased meat or milk production, and domesticating dogs for gentle natures. The process involves selecting parent organisms that exhibit desirable traits, breeding them, and then selecting and breeding their offspring over multiple generations to reinforce these traits. However, selective breeding can lead to inbreeding, causing increased risks of diseases and genetic defects, as seen in certain dog breeds like pugs. Additionally, it reduces genetic variation as only individuals with the desired characteristics are allowed to breed. The ethical concern centers on the potential health defects caused in animals due to selective breeding.

What is selective breeding?
Selective breeding is the process where humans breed plants and animals for specific desired characteristics.
What are some examples of selective breeding?
Examples include: disease resistance in crops, animals that produce more meat or milk, and domestic dogs with gentle natures.
How does selective breeding affect genetic variation?
It greatly reduces genetic variation as only individuals with desired characteristics are allowed to breed.
What are the ethical concerns associated with selective breeding?
Selective breeding can lead to defects and an increased risk of diseases in certain animals.
