PLEASE HELP ME FAASSSTTTT 

Compare and contrast genetic engineering to the process of natural selection. Select all statements that are true.


1) By selecting the genetic information that is passed on to future generations, genetic engineering is similar to natural selection.

2) Unlike natural selection, genetic engineering selects the organisms most beneficial to the environment.

3) By selecting the genetic information that is passed on to future generations, genetic engineering can happen at a different rate than natural selection.

4) Like natural selection, genetic engineering may be used on all organisms, including humans.

5) The effects of genetic engineering apply only to the organism selected, but natural selection affects the entire population.

Explanation: In natural selection there is overtime selection for one particular trait and is mostly based on phenotype, whilst genetic engineering uses genotype of an organism and it is the deliberate modification of an organism by manipulating the genetic material
