Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Artificial selection selects the traits that are already present in the animal or human. On the other hand genetic engineering creates new/different traits.

In artificial selection scientist only breed the desirable traits. With genetic engineering use DNA to specifically manipulate the genome. Example: A way to change the genome is to enter genes from another organism.

Hope that helped!
