B Correct answer
Explanation
Animal husbandry and plant breeding programmes are the examples of artificial selection. The artificial selection is the modification of species by selective breeding. Animals or plants with desirable characteristics are interbred with the aim of altering the genotype and producing a new strain of the organism for a specific purpose. Traditional breeding techniques have been supplemented by more recent methods of genetic engineering, genetic testing and embryo manipulation. Sequencing of genomes of commercially important animals and plant species has enabled the inheritance of desired genes to be monitored directly by molecular methods.

So, the correct answer is 'Artificial selection'.

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Dogs are the earliest animals made as pets. The first potential evidence of dog domestication dates back to 30,000 B.C., in the form of a wolflike creature found in a cave in Belgium. Other evidence suggests dogs weren't domesticated until thousands of years later. Before they were pets, dogs helped human hunt and cats helped guard grain supplies by keeping rats and mice away. Eventually, people started to treat these animals more like pets. At present human-canine bonding is the mutually beneficial and dynamic relationship between human and dogs that is studied by psychologists, anthropologists and ethologists.
