The trait can be chosen for usefulness or appearance. Selective breeding can lead to 'inbreeding' where some breeds are particularly prone to disease or inherited defects. Debate: Should people be allowed to dogs? WS 1.3, 1.4 Evaluate the benefits and of selective breeding given appropriate information and consider related ethical issues. 4.4.4.6 In genetic engineering, selected genes from one organism are transferred to another organism which may, or may not, belong to the same species. This process for genetic modification uses enzymes and vectors (such as bacterial plasmids or viruses) to transfer genes. It is much faster than selective breeding. Genes can be transferred to the cells of animals, plants or microorganisms at an early stage in their development so that they develop with the desired characteristics.
