domestication
decreased its genetic diversity
It is called cross-breeding, selective breeding or hybridization.
Most of the domesticated plants and animals you are familiar with have been produced through selective breeding. Dogs, cats, cows, goats, corn, grass, tomatoes, etc .
Selective breeding is when you mate specific plants or animals to pass on a certain genetic trait they may have. For example, if you have two horses with very strong hearts then you may want to breed them so that their offspring may also have a strong heart. Farmers use selective breeding to breed the best plants and animals for feeding, selling or breeding.
Yes. Selective breeding is also used to improve or otherwise change breeds of dogs, cats, horses, cows, and so forth.
Charles Darwin was the first scientist to suggest that plants and animals evolved over time. Darwin was also the first scientist that did early studies in selective breeding.
The term commonly used to refer to the breeding of improved varieties of plants and animals is "selective breeding." This process involves choosing individuals with desirable traits to mate and produce offspring with those traits, ultimately leading to improved genetic characteristics in the population.
Biotechnology is involved in Selective Breeding.
