Key terms
- ethical issues: ethical issues is a curriculum-aligned term linked to the learning objective: Explain benefits, risks and ethical issues of selective breeding when given appropriate information..
- selective breeding: In Selective breeding, selective breeding means selective breeding is a curriculum-aligned term linked to the learning objective: Explain benefits, risks and ethical issues of selective breeding when given appropriate information. This matters in Variation and evolution because it supports the learning objective to explain benefits, risks and ethical issues of selective breeding when given appropriate information. Use selective breeding only in this subtopic-relevant sense so the definition stays concise, curriculum-specific, and useful for AQA GCSE Biology revision. Students should use this term accurately when they explain the biology, identify symptoms, or justify an answer in GCSE Biology questions.
