An animated diagram showing the MAS breeding pipeline. Starting from a cross between two parent lines, the workflow shows: F1 generation, F2 segregating population, DNA extraction, marker genotyping, selection of favorable genotypes, and advancement to the next generation. Icons represent laboratory steps (DNA extraction, PCR, gel). Selected plants/animals are highlighted green; rejected ones are grayed out. A generation counter tracks progress, and a graph shows the population mean shifting over selection cycles.
