Question

which is a benefit of selective breeding?
a. it can increase the diversity of the species.
b. there is no possibility for mutations to occur.
c. organisms with desirable traits can be produced.
d. it can produce offspring that are genetically identical.

Explanation:

Selective breeding intentionally pairs organisms with desirable traits to pass those traits to offspring. Option A is incorrect because it reduces genetic diversity. Option B is wrong as mutations can still occur. Option D describes cloning, not selective breeding. Only option C is a core benefit of this practice.

Answer:

C. Organisms with desirable traits can be produced.
