Eliminating an undesirable trait from a dog breed would probably require the technique of selective breeding called?
Artificial selection is the process of breeding organisms with specific traits in order to produce offspring with identical traits. Natural selection occurs when an organism with favorable variations survive, reproduce and pass their variations to the next generation.
What is the definition of hybrid vigor?
it is the special gene combination of hybrid organisms that produces their desired trait.
How do humans affect artificial selection?
Humans directly affect artificial selection. They do this by selecting the specific traits that they prefer which they cannot don in a natural selection.
What is pure breeding?
Pure breeding is the process of selectively breeding animals to produce some desired, different, animal.
Why are model species useful to study genes?
Model organism are non-human species that are used in the laboratory to help scientists understand biological processes. There are usually organisms that are easy to maintain and breed in a laboratory setting.
What is the process which humans breed organisms for certain traits?
The process by which humans breed organisms to obtain certain traits is known as artificial selection.
What is the process in which human breed organisms for certain traits?
The process by which humans breed organisms to obtain certain traits is known as artificial selection.
Farmers often choose certain individual organisms to breed because of the traits they have What is this process called?
Artificial selection
What is the mecahinsm in which domesicated organisms are breed?
Artificial selection is the process of breeding organisms for desired traits. The taming of animals to be comfortable to human control and care is also an important part of domestication. Undomesticated animals can be tamed just as artificial selection can be applied to undomesticated organisms. It is the combining of these two processes that leads to the domestication of a species.
Which Bantam Roosters win Blue Ribbons?
Any breed of Bantam rooster can win ribbons. Judges look for desired traits in every breed.
What is artificial selection?
when humans breed an animal for a certain trait.
What is the process called pairing individuals to breed for certain traits?
Basically selective breeding...
How do you cross breed chickens to get a pure breed?
It is a long process and can take years. You need to have a plan detailing those traits you wish to attain or remove from you breeding stock. Begin with the best birds that you can get. It's easier to start with quality chickens than to breed unwanted traits out of a poor quality grandparent flock of birds. Keep accurate records to control mating. Identify and mark the best of the birds with the qualities desired. Never keep chickens with unwanted traits, cull or separate those without those desired traits.
What type of breeding is the technique in which two specific organisms are chosen for reproduction to see what traits their offspring display?
Selective breed
What artificial selection?
Artificial Selection Answer Artificial Selection is the breeding of certain traits (better traits) over other traits. For example, breeding a good male horse with excellent racing qualities with a healthy female horse so that the offspring will have the desired traits such as the racing qualities. Another example is breeding good size fruits or vegetable together to keep on getting the good size. Selection done by humans looking to maximize traits in animals under domestication. These traits are not always for the benefit of the organism though. Men raise these animals and mate the ones they think will breed true for a man favored trait and cull the rest of the organisms by killing them, or by not allowing them to breed.
What exploits selective breeding in genes to influence which traits will be presented in the offspringof organisms chosento breed with one another?
Natural Variation
What are Advantages and disadvantages of inbreeding?
Examples will vary. The advantage of inbreeding is that it maintains desired traits within a breed, such as curly hair in poodles. The disadvantage is that it can lead to genetic defects within a breed, such as blindness in German shepherds.
