1 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.
