Student Sample 1 How will selective breeding impact our future?
... Selective Breeding is unhealthy and narrows the organisms’ gene pool causing harm to the organisms overall. GM breeding is a type of selective breeding. GM breeding is worse than natural breeding and causes plants to lose variation. Craig Holder, director of The Natural Institute, said that natural ...
