5.11 understand that animals with desired characteristics can be developed by selective breeding

Farmers can choose to make sure animals with characteristics they desire reproduce, their offspring will inherit the genes of the characteristic.

5.10 understand that plants with desired characteristics can be developed by selective breeding

Farmers can breed plants selectively choosing plants with characteristics they desire (eg colour, size of fruit) to pollinate.

This blog was originally set up for my own revision purposes, and not for other people to read, so you can't rely on everything that I have written. Obviously the notes are combinations of what my teachers have taught me, what my tutor has said and things I have found in revision guides or sites, so I'd like to think that everything is reliable! This is just my disclaimer and a little note to make sure that it is understood I may have made mistakes that I wouldn't want anyone to repeat!

On a more happy note, I'm so glad that people are using this as a source, and am overjoyed with the comments that I have been left ;) I'm happy to have helped and I hope everybody does the best in their exams!
