What is biotechnological genetic improvement?
Scientists often study the genome of important food producing organisms like crops and farm animals in order to make changes in the genome and produce disease resistant cops and high yielding animals. This process is generally referred to as biotechnology driven genetic improvement
Why improvement in crop yield is improvement?
Because it is the process of improvement for it is it's ability to improve it's crops.
Methods for developing organisms with desirable traits?
1. Selective Breeding - the 2 types of breeding is Hybridization and Inbreeding2. Cloning - when you copy exactly the same genes as the organism from which it is produced3. Genetic Engineering - Genes from one organism are transferred into the DNA of other organism's. Usually for medicines and food crops
Why is it important to know the mode of reproduction of crops in plant breeding?
to determine its genetic composition, which, in turn, is the deciding factor to develop suitable breeding and selection methods.
Why is crop improvement necessary?
To grow better crops much healthier
What is cop rotation method?
The crop rotation method was developed to rotate crops that depleted the soil of natural nutrients with crops that redeposits those nutrients back into the soil. Usually crops are rotated season to season.
What method did the Aztecs use for farming?
The Aztecs used a method called chinampas, which involved creating artificial islands on water bodies. These islands were used for growing crops, utilizing the nutrient-rich sediment from the water to fertilize the soil. This method allowed the Aztecs to efficiently produce food in their swampy surroundings.
What are genetic engineers doing to improve health of crops?
Genetic engineers have devised ways to improve crop yields through eugenics, which refers to hereditary improvements. They have also developed methods to make crops more resistant to pests.

Do people in North Dakota raise animals or crops?
People who are involved in agriculture in North Dakota raise animals or crops or both animals and crops.
Does bee pollination help in growing healthier crops?
Any kind of cross pollination will improve crops or plants due to a greater variety of genetic information.
