Question 1 • PT-GSE Environmental Science B-IC – 81

Which of the following are potential benefits of selective breeding? Check all that apply.

Answer
A
Crops with higher yield.
B
Crops with better nutritional value.
C
More aggressive farm animals.
D
Higher milk, egg, or meat production.
E
Decreased diversity of wild populations.

Explanation

Selective breeding involves choosing organisms with desired traits to reproduce. This can produce crops with higher yields or better nutritional value, and farm animals that provide more milk, eggs, or meat. More aggressive animals are not generally a benefit, and decreased diversity in wild populations is a potential harm, not a benefit.
