Question

in which process are the desired traits of certain plants and animals selected and passed on to their future generations?
selective breeding
genetic engineering
transgenic breeding

Explanation:

Selective breeding is the process where humans choose specific traits in plants or animals and breed them so that these traits are passed on to the next generations. Genetic engineering involves directly manipulating an organism's genes. Transgenic breeding is a type of genetic engineering where genes from one species are inserted into another. The question describes the traditional method of choosing traits (not direct gene manipulation), which is selective breeding.

Answer:

Selective breeding
