  2. Selective breeding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selective_breeding

    Selective breeding (also called artificial selection) is the process by which humans use animal breeding and plant breeding to selectively develop particular phenotypic traits (characteristics) by choosing which typically animal or plant males and females will sexually reproduce and have offspring together.

  3. Animal genetic resources for food and agriculture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animal_genetic_resources...

    Human intervention through artificial selection of animals with desirable characteristics further increased the differentiation among and uniformity within breeds. Examples of traits that have been deliberately selected by humans include growth rate, milk or egg production, coat color, meat quality, and age of maturity, among many others.

  4. Wild ancestor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wild_ancestor

    The red junglefowl (Gallus gallus), often believed to be an ancestor of the domestic chicken.. Most animals are tuned to modern life by artificial selection. This is either due to the pressure of early hunter-gatherers' attempts to stabilise the food supply, which resulted in the existence of domesticated farm animals, or domestication of pets which are useful to humans. [2]

  5. Selection limits - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selection_limits

    The existence of limits in artificial selection experiments was discussed in the scientific literature in the 1940s or earlier. [1] The most obvious possible cause of reaching a limit (or plateau) when a population is under continued directional selection is that all of the additive-genetic variation (see additive genetic effects) related to that trait gets "used up" or fixed. [2]

  6. List of domesticated plants - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_domesticated_plants

    The list includes individual plant species identified by their common names as well as larger formal and informal botanical categories which include at least some domesticated individuals. Plants in this list are grouped by the original or primary purpose for which they were domesticated, and subsequently by botanical or culinary categories.

  8. Breeding back - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breeding_back

    For example, food preferences are assumed to be largely the same in domesticated animals as in their wild type ancestors. Natural selection might serve as an additional tool in creating "authentic" robustness, "authentic" behaviour, and perhaps, the original phenotype as well. In some cases, a sufficient predator population would be necessary ...
