  • Genetic engineering involves using enzymes to cut and paste genes from one organism into another organism
  • Selective breeding involves humans selecting organisms with desirable traits to breed, and continuing this process over several generations to produce offspring with improved qualities
  • Genetic engineering has been used to produce genetically modified crops and animals, which has raised some concerns
  • Genetic engineering can be used to produce proteins in organisms like sheep
  • Genetic engineering and selective breeding both involve modifying the genetic characteristics of organisms
  • Genetic engineering uses enzymes to cut and paste genes, while selective breeding involves humans choosing which organisms to breed
  • Both genetic engineering and selective breeding can be used to produce organisms with desired traits or characteristics
