How did early land animals differ from those common today?
Early land animals were not as diverse as today's land animals. In time there has been adaptation of species where certain genetic traits and become predominant. Mutations have allowed for more variation over time.
How has artificial selection been used to shape the looks and behavior of farm animals such as the cow and family pets such as the domesticated dog?
Humans select certain traits from a dog or cow's offspring to use for whatever purpose they have in mind. These traits are then passed on down to future offspring and selected further by other humans who purchase and use the animals for their use. Thus that's what "artificial selection" is all about: humans doing the genetic selection and looking for certain qualities in domesticated animals that they can "exploit" or use to their advantage.
Differentiate between observed characteristics of plants and animals that are inherited and not inherited?
sets of inherited instuctions are called inherted traits because the plants and animals get their traits from their parents.
Do pigs have special traits?
Yes, one of their special traits is that they are smarter of any domestic animals, even smarter than dogs.
Why some animal have wings and why some not?
some animals develop wings. others get it from traits. such as genetic traits. others well i dont know about that
What is in breeding in animals?
Mass selection in animal breeding is when certain animals are chosen for certain desirable traits to pass on. Once those animals are obtained, they are bred to control what traits the offspring have and to create varying lines.
Why do certain animals have young that do not look like them?
recessive traits.
What is mass selection in animals breeding?

What is breeding of plants and animals with certain traits to produce offspring with those traits?
artificial selection
What is artificial selection?
when humans breed an animal for a certain trait.
Why does nature give animals certain powers which she does not give to man?
Animals have gained certain traits through adaptations. They need advanced hearing and enhanced night vision for survival. Evolution and selection are the causes of enhanced powers in animals.
What Did Mendel Study To Do With Organisms?
Mendel studied sweet peas. He studied the inheriance of certain traits in pea plants. His studies of the passing of certain traits formed the basis for our understanding of dominant and recessive genes in plants and animals.
How do humans select for certain traits for certain traits in some organisms?
hi
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 did Gregor Mendel study from 1853 to 1884?
Mendel studied sweet peas. He studied the inheriance of certain traits in pea plants. His studies of the passing of certain traits formed the basis for our understanding of dominant and recessive genes in plants and animals.
How do scientists decide in which group an animal belongs?
Based on similar characteristics, traits animals share get more and more specific until you can specify a specific kind of animal
Who invented the study of genetics?
Gregor Mendel was one of the first scientists to study genetics. Medel was an Austrian monk who began to study the traits of various pea plants. He soon started breeding them and discovering how certain traits are passed down.
