Selective breeding is the traditional method for improving crops and livestock, such as increasing disease resistance or milk yield.
Genetic engineering is a faster way, which transplants genes for a desired characteristic into an organism. However, genetic engineering offers many potential benefits but carries the risk of unexpected harmful effects.
Answer:
As the variables are not given, let us help with general explanation on manipulated variable.
Explanation:
A manipulated variable is an independent variable. In a scientific experiment, an independent variable can be described as a variable which can change naturally or which is changed by the researcher to check its effect on the dependent variable. The dependent variable is the variable which is under study and being tested.
