What is selective breeding?

Selective breeding, also known as artificial selection, is a process used by humans to develop new organisms with desirable characteristics. 

Breeders select two parents that have beneficial phenotypic traits to reproduce, yielding offspring with those desired traits.

Example if a breeder wants cows that produce lots of milk or hen that produce large eggs.
