GENETIC CHANGES CAUSED BY HUMANS
2
Selective breeding: Cross organisms with traits you like to get offspring with desired traits
3
Selective breeding: Humans have been breeding organisms for desired traits for THOUSANDS of years
4
Selective breeding: Hybridization: Cross organisms with two different good traits to get BOTH traits
5
Selective breeding: Inbreeding: Cross individuals with similar traits to keep traits pure
6
Genetic Engineering: Transferring genes from one organism into the chromosomes of another to get NEW traits
8
GENETIC ENGINEERING USES SINGLE CELLS!
Later, the cell splits and forms more cells or a whole organism.
