Selective breeding uses natural biological means to alter genetics--example is using a pollen from one strain to fertilize another strain and so "cross" the gene pools.While on the on the hand genetic engineering artificially goes into the chromosomes to edit them--an unnatural process. Example--a cold water fish gene is put into a crop so that it won't freeze in the winter. This would not naturally occur.
What else can I help you with?
How are genetic engineering and selective breeding the same?
Selective breeding is a category that has genetic engineering in it. while selective breeding is choosing a trait or feature to breed on, genetic engineering is a man made change in a subjects genes
What part of science is selective breeding?
Genetics - or genetic engineering.
What process do humans use to influence the traits of a species?
selective breeding; been going on for thousands of years. genetic engineering; been going on for decades.
Why genetic engineering is superior to selective breeding?
Genetic engineering: -more specific changes -changes are more controlled -takes less time to enact -lack of variation
What are the method of traditional biotechnology?
Traditional biotechnology methods include fermentation, selective breeding, and genetic engineering. Fermentation is the process of using microorganisms to produce products like yogurt or cheese. Selective breeding involves breeding organisms with desirable traits to create new varieties. Genetic engineering is the manipulation of an organism's genetic material to introduce specific traits.
What would genetic engineering and selective breeding go under?
Genetic engineering and selective breeding are both techniques used in the field of biotechnology to modify the genetic makeup of organisms for specific purposes, such as improving traits or creating new varieties. They both fall under the broader category of genetic manipulation or genetic modification.
A form of genetic engineering in which plants or animals are selected to breed and give offspring with desirable characteristics is known as?
Selective Breeding
What biotechnological methods make selective breeding in live stock possible?
AI (artificial insemination), and, arguably, genetic engineering.
Which outcome is possible using genetic engineering but not using selective breeding?
The insertion of a [desired] gene segment into an existing chromosome.
Without genetic engineering horses would have been domesticated?
Horses were domesticated long before the concept of genetic engineering was even selective breeding.
What is the fastest way to cross-breed animals?
I'm not sure if this is the fastest but it is faster than selective breeding. it is called genetic engineering
How does selective breeding differ from genetic engineering?
Selective breeding uses natural biological means to alter genetics--example is using a pollen from one strain to fertilize another strain and so "cross" the gene pools.While on the on the hand genetic engineering artificially goes into the chromosomes to edit them--an unnatural process.
