Question

Compare and contrast genetic engineering to the process of natural selection. Select all statements that are true. By selecting the genetic information that is passed on to future generations, genetic engineering is similar to natural selection. Unlike natural selection, genetic engineering selects the organisms most beneficial to the environment. By selecting the genetic information that is passed on to future generations, genetic engineering can happen at a different rate than natural selection. Like natural selection, genetic engineering may be used on all organisms, including humans. The effects of genetic engineering apply only to the organism selected, but natural selection affects the entire population.

Answer 1

its the first, third, and fourth.

Answer 2

The correct statements are 1st, 3rd and 4th.

Step-by-step explanation:

Manipulation of genetic substance in order to develop organisms with desirable features is considered as genetic engineering. The natural selection comprises selection of traits, which make organisms to amend appropriately with their surroundings.

Both these processes comprise the transmission of genetic information from one generation to the next as the manipulated and the changed genetic material of the parent organism is conducted to the succeeding generation.

Both natural selection and genetic engineering opts for the traits, which are most beneficial for the organisms in order to better adapt to the environment. The process of genetic engineering is faster in comparison to natural selection process. Natural selection refers to a natural phenomenon, while genetic engineering involves selected changes of traits.

Both processes can work on all the species, including human beings.
