Selective Breeding has allowed humans to slowly change the genetic makeup of domesticated species over thousands of years. These two things have dramatically increased the genetic improvement of plants: Pollination control and isolation of the breeding of plants. Genetic Engineering or Gene Splicing allows for the very specific isolation and movement of genes for desirable traits without the inclusion of less desirable traits. Restriction endonucleases (restriction enzymes) recognize sp...
