What are some example of selective breeding?
to save the endangered animals
What are some draw backs of vets?
they get really itchy sometimes
What are some draw backs of using salt on the roads?
it will effect the smoothness of the road
Can a quagga be recreated?
Yes. This has almost been done, in fact, say some. A breeding-back programme has commenced, through selective breeding of the southern Plains Zebras.
What process changed the genetics of some rabbits over many generations to give them white or spotted fur?
Selective breeding
What are some examples of selective breeding animals and plants?
The female two toed sloth is probably one of the most selevtive breeding animals. Her mate must do the can-can before she will breed with him. Of course, the most selevtive in biology it the venemous tentacular.
Is a cacti a natural selection or selective breeding?
Cacti are primarily a product of natural selection, as they have evolved over millions of years to adapt to their arid environments. Their unique features, such as thick skin and water-storing tissues, are traits that have been favored in survival. However, some cacti have also been subject to selective breeding, particularly in cultivation for ornamental purposes, resulting in various hybrid varieties. Thus, while the majority of cacti are a result of natural selection, selective breeding plays a role in their diversity in cultivated settings.
What are some of the genetic problems you might encounter during selective breeding?
um i really think that selective breeding is really wrong people thinks its funny but its really sad because selective breeding is abusing animals and maybe someone can make a illness and kill people etc. but i think its very wrong
Where can I find a photo that shows selective breeding going wrong?
http://www.pedigreedatabase.com/german_shepherd_dog/forum/17623.html The website has some pictures of show dogs that have deformed backs and really short legs (show German Shepherds are supposed to have a curved back). I don't know if it counts because it was technically supposed to happen, but it's still a bit extreme.
What does a cattle breeder do?
A cattle breeder breeds and raises cattle to sell. They can breed the cattle for many different things. Some of these cattle could be for show or some for just beef.
What are the similarities between selective breeding and genetic breeding?
Genetic engineering is the combining of DNA from different species and can only be done in the laboratory. Traditional plant and animal breeding stay within the species to get the desired result. Some similarities: Both genetic engineering and selective breeding result in modification of an organism's genotype. In other words, the organism's genes are changed in some way. If one or more genes from another species are introduced, the resulting genome consists of recombinant DNA. In both processes, an out side source is in control, rather than natural selection. (Selective breeding is sometimes referred to as artificial selection.) So humans decide which individual animals or plants to retain in each generation. And in both processes, the purpose is to make the livestock or crop better from a human point of view.
How is selective breeding different from genetic engineering?
Genetic Engineering allows scientists to transfer genes from one organism to an organism of a different species; and in Selective Breeding organisms within the same species with certain desirable characteristics are mated to produce a new variety. The difference between the two is in Genetic Engineering manually transfers genes between species and Selective Breeding mates varieties within the same species to produce a new variety.
