For what type of organisms is species a diffcult term to define?
Species are organisms that can breed and give rise to a viable offspring. However, mules (a crossbreed of a donkey and horse) cannot give rise to viable offspring after breeding. It is difficult to apply the term species when referring to such organisms.
What is selective breeding of organism with desirable traits in order to produce offspring with the same traits?
They select trais that will give hybird organisms a competive edge.
What is the meaning of true breeding?
A true breeding plant is genetically homozygous. It produces the same type of plants on self fertilization. These plants are very useful for creating hybrids.
What is a single organism that produces offspring identical to itself?
Only organisms reproducing by the assexual process of cloning.
In the selective breeding of cats the parents of the offspring are chosen by?
a human
What is true-breeding?
Referring to organisms for which sexual reproduction produces offspring with inherited traits identical to those of the parents. The organisms are homozygous for the characteristics under consideration.
What do you call the process of choosing parent organisms for the characteristics that you want in their offspring?
the process of selecting a few organisms with the desired traits to serve as parents of the next generation is called what?
What is a true - breeding plant?
True-breeding is an organisms or genotypes that are homozygous for a specific trait and thus always produce offspring that have the same phenotype for that trait.
For what type of organisms is species a diffcult term to define?
Species are organisms that can breed and give rise to a viable offspring. However, mules (a crossbreed of a donkey and horse) cannot give rise to viable offspring after breeding. It is difficult to apply the term species when referring to such organisms.
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.
Describes organisms or genotypes that are homozygous for a specific trait and thus always produce offspring that have the same phenotype for that trait?
True-breeding
What is selective breeding of organism with desirable traits in order to produce offspring with the same traits?
They select trais that will give hybird organisms a competive edge.
Why cross pollination produces more genetic variation in the offspring than self pollination produces?
Cross-pollination produces more genetic variation in offspring because it is a different set of DNA that is breeding with the parents DNA to produce the offspring (known as sexual reproduction). In asexual reproduction, the parent plant uses a clone DNA to self pollinate thus creating an exact copy of the parent. Asexual reproduction inhibits genetic variation because the offspring will never develop mutations that could help natural selection.
What is the meaning of true breeding?
A true breeding plant is genetically homozygous. It produces the same type of plants on self fertilization. These plants are very useful for creating hybrids.
What is true breeding?
Purebred organisms are the organisms in the off springs for many generations which have the same traitA true-breeding organism, sometimes also called a purebred, is an organism that always passes down certain phenotypic traits (i.e. physically expressed traits) to its offspring.
What are offspring of true breeding parents called?
Offspring of true-breeding parents are called F2 generation. This is often seen in hybrid breeding programs when they are working to produce a certain trait.
What is a single organism that produces offspring identical to itself?
Only organisms reproducing by the assexual process of cloning.
