What's the difference between genetic engineering and selective breeding?
Genetic engineering involves directly manipulating an organism's genes in order to get a desired trait. Whereas selective breeding is when two different organisms mate together in order to get a desired trait.

Why are dominant phenotypes more prevalent in nature?
Dominant phenotypes have dominant alleles in there genotypes and dominant alleles overshadow recessive alleles and their phenotypes.
