How selective breeding using dominant principle can positively affect Belgian Blue Cow?

It depends on what trait is being selected for. Whatever that trait is, it has to be a trait that will improve the BB breed, not unimprove it. How that works is that purebred cattle are selected for a dominant desirable trait and bred together to produce more cattle with that trait. Any other cattle that have the recessive undesirable trait are culled.

At what age must a bull stop breeding?
Often a bull should stop breeding either if he's too old and not fertile enough any more to be used, or if he's become too aggressive and dominant with his handlers to be considered a keeper anymore. There really is no defined age when a bull should stop breeding.

What is an Alpha Pair?
An "Alpha pair" is the dominant breeding pair in a pack of animals. This is usually a normality in wolf packs. Only the alpha female and alpha male are allowed to have offspring.
Why is selective breeding important for farmers or animal breeders?
disadvantage: selective breeding gets rid of varietyadvantage: selective breeding rules out weakness and disabilitydisadvantage: isn't that what Hitler tried to do with humans in WWII? do we really want to be like him?Selective breeding(or artificial selection) produces traits which may be advantagious to us, but be a disadvantage to the animal.Here are some examples-The lapps of northern Europe herd and breed the wild deer, selecting docile animals. The resulting herds could not survive in the wild.Cows with big udders are good for us , but are probably painful for the cow. English bulldogs mght be considered a cool looking dog, but have breathing difficulties and such small pelvises that they often have to give birth by causation.Advantages: Can produce fitter, stronger animals or animals of a higher yield of milk, meat or eggs for example. Can produce animals better suited to survive in poor climates or marginal conditions, thus preserving human food supplies and saving life. Can ensure the eradication of hereditary sickness in some blood lines.Disadvantages: For show animals such wild kitten eatingas some dogs, it is practised quite strictly by breeders aiming at a certain look which is set down as the breed "standard"- many Dalmation puppies are euthanased because they do not exhibit the breed standards for example, so there are serious moral questions to it too.Too much close interbreeding to obtain certain cosmetic traits can also result in the amplifying of inherent illnesses - like the bulldogs mentioned above, or German shephered dogs with hip problems and so on - in fact, these issues are rapidly worsening in recent years with dogs in particular. keep in mind it will eat your babies if you anger them.
How can you tell whether a black guinea pig is homozygous or heterzygous when black fur is dominant over white fur?
You could try breeding it with a homozygous recessive partner (hh) Lets assume that you breed the original mystery rabbit with an hh recessive partner, and they have 10 offspring. If the original rabbit is homozygous dominant, it would be HH + hh, which would give all 10 the offspring Hh genotypes, which would give them the dominant hair color. If it was heterozygous dominant, it would be Hh + hh, which would lead to either Hh or hh offspring. This means that in theory, 5 would be dominant colored while the other 5 would not be.
What is selective breending?
Selective Breeding is when animal or plant breeders cross two members of the same species that have dominant alleles, for the particular trait. The offspring would be called a hybrid, which has more disirable qualities.
When Mendel crossed a true-breeding short plant with a true-breeding tall plant, all the offspring were tall. Which term describes the gene for tallness?
Dominant.
Are red eyes the dominant in dwarf hamsters if you are breeding them?
no
What principle of design make one part of a Work dominant over other parts?
emphasis
Why cant you determine if a person with a dominant trait has the genotype true breeding dominant or hybrid simply looking at them?
Because the dominant traits cover up the recessive.
What is a wolf female called?
A female wolf is called a bitch. She-wolf can also be used.If the female is the head of the pack or the mate to the Alpha-male (male that is leader of the pack) she is called the Alpha-female.However, nowadays they are simply referred to as the breeding female and the breeding male. or the breeding pair.She-wolf or bitch. If she is the highest ranking female in her pack, she is called the dominant female. Usually, the dominant female is the breeding female. The dominant male and female are referred to as the dominant pair and if they are also reproducing, they are referred to as the breeding pair.Well there is not really a term for a Female wolf but they are offen called Shewolves or wolvess
What is the difference between natural and selective breeding?
The difference between selective breeding and genetic engineering is that selective breeding is when two organisms are breed together in hope of getting an offspring with the desired phenotype, while genetic engineering is the same concept except it deals with humans.
Recessive genes will always be masked by dominant genes This is Mendel's principle of?
Dominance
Explain how selective breeding can be used by farmers?
Selective breeding has improved food production due to only the best foods being produced. Animals are specially selected by how much of something they are producing, so breeding two animals with higher quality foods will make more animals producing the same quality products.
