compare and contrast the following pairs of terms on the topControlled breeding , ,,,Genetic engineering?
Controlled breeding is used in many cases with championship horse or dog bloodlines to produce a certain kind of desired result (hopefully leading to another champoinship). The pair chosen to mate are selected according to their pedigrees, and often these bloodlines are heavily inbred. This whole process is very uncertain.
Genetic engineering is used on somatic (non-reproductive) cells, eucaryotic cells, bacteria and viruses to get an organism to produce a protein that it does not already produce or to correct a genetic error. It could theoretically be used on reproductive cells as well.
