Show transcript
Some plants and animals have features that are useful to us (e.g. they can provide food and materials, or do work).
Selective breeding by humans causes particular features to become more (or less) common in the species.
After many generations, the resulting domesticated species can be quite different to their wild ancestors.
Examples of the selective breeding of a farm animal and a crop from their wild ancestors.
The dependence of humans on domesticated animals and crops for food security.
