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.
