What else can I help you with?
Why do you use selective breeding?
To eventually get the best possible animal.
What is the process by which humans select plants or animals for breeding based on disired traits?
They selectively breed them. So that the animal has the best characteristics possible. Examples are pigs with more fat or sheep with thicker wool.
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.
How many tries did it take you to successfully produce the largest crop possible using selective breeding?
It took numerous tries over many generations to successfully produce the largest crop possible using selective breeding. This process involves carefully selecting and breeding plants with desirable traits over time to improve crop yield. Each generation is evaluated and the best individuals are chosen to continue the breeding process, gradually leading to a larger and more productive crop.
Why are biologist in preserving the diversity of plants and animals in the wild?
Because selective breeding would not be possible without the variation that is found in natural population./To have a sustainable Ecosystem
How can you train a donkey to breathe water like a fish in order to begin breeding them to have gills?
You cannot train a donkey to breathe water like a fish. If it were possible to breed them to have gills, it would require decades if not centuries of adaptation and selective breeding.
Can a genetically modified trait in an organism be undone?
Yes, it is possible to undo a genetically modified trait in an organism through genetic engineering techniques like gene editing or selective breeding. By introducing targeted genetic changes or breeding with non-modified individuals, it is possible to reverse or eliminate the modified trait in subsequent generations.
How does selective breeding differ from evolution?
Selective breeding happens within closely related species. useful TechniquesGM Food produces a wide range of characteristics that aren't possible with selective breeding. It can alter an organism's DNA with much greater precision-genes can also be transfered or manipulated
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
What colors are German shepperds?
The German Shepherd dog is generally a mix of several colours from white through several shades of 'tan' to black. Through selective breeding it is possible to create an all white or all black dog.
What selective breeding technique has been used to breed purebred racehorses?
Pedigree analysis and controlled mating are commonly used selective breeding techniques to breed purebred racehorses. By selecting individuals with desired traits and breeding them together, breeders aim to produce offspring with superior racing abilities. The goal is to enhance and consolidate favorable characteristics within the breed.
