How is modern DNA technology is similar to selective breeding performed throughout history?
DNA research is much more expensive and probably does the same thing.
How have horses changed through selective breeding?
The 'natural horse' would be most similarly represented by the Przewalski's Horse, a small stocky tan-colored wild horse that lives in Mongolia. All modern horse breeds demonstrate selective breeding for different traits, from draft horses to running horses to small ponies.
What is one technique that could be used to combine disease resistance and high nutrient value in a new variety of wheat?
One technique that could be used is traditional breeding methods to cross different wheat varieties that exhibit disease resistance with those that have high nutrient value. Through multiple generations of selective breeding, hybrid wheat lines can be developed that possess both traits. Additionally, modern biotechnological tools such as gene editing can be used to introduce specific genes associated with disease resistance and nutrient content into wheat varieties.
What does geneticly engineered corn do to you?
Makes you less hungry.Keep in mind that humans have been manipulating the genomes of food crops for thousands of years by selective breeding. Modern methods simply speed the process.
What is the effect that genetically modified foods has on society?
We have genetically modified foods for centuries by selective cross breeding plants. With out this and other modern methods of farming perhaps a billion people now existing on a substance diet would starve to death.
How fast could a medieval horse run?
The modern horse is the result of selective breeding for thousands of years. Medieval horses were prized for their strength not speed. They were big and heavy and most likely would not be able to keep up with the present day Thoroughbred.
Whose theories are the basis for modern breeding techniques of plants and animals?
Gregor Mendel's theories are the basis for modern breeding techniques of plants and animals. Mendel was a German friar who experimented with breeding pea plants.
Who was involved in the revolution?
Britain's Agricultural Revolution brought farming into the modern era. Several factors contributed to the revolution. First was the introduction of selective cattle breeding. Next, common property rights to land were removed. Finally, new systems of cropping with turnips and clover were introduced.

What are some examples of modern biotechnology?
Nanotechnology occurs when there is a manipulation with molecular, atomic, or supramolecular matter. Examples of nanotechnology include paint that can repel dirt, modern airbag sensors, and high tech CD or DVD players.
What is the modern horse?
Although there are places where the horse is still used much the same as he did 100's of years ago, most modern horses are pets. Through selective breeding there are now many different breeds for many different uses. Whether cutting cattle or negotiating a cross country jump course, the horse will always have a place in the lives of humans.
