...transform the breed accordingly.
What problem can occur with selective breeding?
Genetic mutations
Why are only neutral mutations useful for molecular clocks?
Only neutral mutations are useful for molecular clocks because they accumulate in the DNA of different species at the same rate, while other mutations do not.
Breeders can increase the genetic variation by inducing what?
The introduction of animals into a breeding population that are unrelated will increase genetic variation.
Why is selective breeding not caused by natural selection?
The selective breeding is affected by man who is much more stronger ifluence than the mutations done by nature themselves.
How will variations in organism be useful in plant and animal breeding?
