because the behr cannot respond quick
Edited answer:
During hybridization additive gene action from the two parents result in heterosis which ultimately increases food production in crop plants.

Why is Mass Production important?
The technique of mass production makes it possible to produce goods at lower cost, which means that more people can afford to buy those goods, and the standard of living of the population will increase.
What causes hybridization?
Crossing two pure bred organisms will produce hybrids. The best example is a cross between a male donkey and a female horse which will produce a mule. The cross of a male horse and a female donkey produces a henny. Mules are considered smarted than either parent.
How can agricultural production be increased?
Inhibit property expanse, via stopping the increase of the amount of pointless buildings, for example, and therefore have more land where we can employ more agriculturalists/farmers who can produce said products.
Who invented the process to purify ore and produce steel?
The process to purify ore and produce steel is known as the Bessemer process, which was invented by Sir Henry Bessemer in 1856. This process involves blowing air through molten iron to remove impurities and increase the carbon content, resulting in the production of steel.
How does hybridization produce genetic variation?
Well most population within a species have very similar gene pools, like most human are 99% similar in their DNA, but the thing is, the closer you are related the more similar you gene pool will be. By hybridization you are literally introducing something new to the gene pool. So maybe you have a whole herd of white goat, but then you crossbred it with a black goat (i don't know if black goat exists or not), this introduces a genetic variation into your white goats, now the offspring will have black fur allele in their gene. That is what hybridization do.
To produce a fruit that has some characteristics of an orange and some of a grapefruit you would use the technique of?
hybridization
Will cross breeding increase number of cows that produce same amount of milk?
No. Crossbreeding is simply a means to improve the characteristics of the offspring to improve milk production, not maintain it.
The mixing of two or more atomic orbitals of similar energies on the same atom to produce new orbitals of equal energies is called?
hybridization
What can you give a mare to produce more milk?
Your vet can prescribe domperidon to increase milk production if necessary.
Would supply increase if there is an increase in input prices?
If the price of one of the for factor of production increase, it would DECREASE the supply since for the same amount of money, you can only produce less of the same good (because it costs more to produce one of it.)
What term is used to describe the deliberae mating of two different breeds of animals to produce offspring with particular characteristics?
This is most commonly known as "selective breeding". It is also called "artificial selection" in an evolution sense.
How does biotechnology change the normal rules of plant reproduction?
Biotechnology changes the "normal" rules of plant reproduction because to increase food production or protect existing crops and trees, they clone and use other techniques to produce plants that have the best characteristics of the original
How do you compare inbreading and hybridization?
Inbreeding is the mating of closely related parents whereas hybridization is the breeding of quite different parents just closely enough related to produce offspring.
A scientist crosses two different varieties of corn to produce a single variety that has traits from both parentsthis technique is an example of?
The process of hybridization.
How are inbreeding and hybridization the same?
Inbreeding is the breeding of closely related individuals of a species generally to produce more uniform offspring. Hybridization is the breeding of different varieties (breeds) or even different species to increase variation/ vigor in the genetic population. An example of variety hybridization would Labradoodles (labrador X poodle). An example of species hybridization would be (wolf X coyote). Many offspring produced from species hybridization are sterile... depending on the chromosome number compatibility and other factors.
Is there a term to describe industries where it is more expensive per unit tp produce a large number of product than it is to produce a small number?
The term for industries where it is more expensive per unit to produce a large number of a product than it is to produce a small number is "diseconomies of scale." Firms with diseconomies of scale have a decrease in efficiency as they increase production. Businesses that do not require expensive technology, but require close personal supervision to be successful, may suffer an increase in the cost per item produced if they increase production past a certain point. In other words, there is a "diseconomy" to increasing production.
