Artificial selection and genetic modification are similar in that they both involve intentional selection or alteration of genes to achieve the desired characteristic in an organism. In artificial selection, humans select and breed organisms with desirable traits to produce offspring with improved characteristics. Genetic modification involves direct manipulation of an organism's DNA to alter or introduce specific genes, resulting in desired traits or functions. Both methods are designed to enhance desirable characteristics in organisms for specific purposes, such as improving crop yield or developing disease-resistant animals.
