Selective Breeding
> Ex: To get a tall person, the tallest possible couple must reproduce and so on.
 * Selective breeding is the choice of wanted characteristics to produce the next generation
 * humans use selective breeding, which takes advantage of naturally occurring genetic variation, to pass wanted traits on to the next generation of organisms.

Hybridization

 * Crossing dissimilar individuals produced by such crosses. Ex. Teosinte Modern Corn
 * This results in a new line of plants that took traits farmers need to increase food production

=Inbreeding=
 * Wanting to keep the desirable characteristics in a line of organisms, breeders use a technique call Inbreeding.
 * Inbreeding is the continued breeding of individuals with similar characteristics.
