Genetic modification (GM) is designed to produce desired characteristics in a plant or animal by splicing a gene that has the desired characteristic directly into the genetic code of that plant or animal. It is much faster than selective breeding

∙ 13y agoSelective breeding cannot produce radical changes in the host organism rapidly. For example, breeding potatoes for cold resistance using selective breeding would result in incremental improvements over many generations. With genetic engineering cold resistant potatoes can be produced in only a year or two. Another good example of genetic engineering is roses. For centuries, breeders struggled to produce a blue rose. Unfortunately the rose plant is incapable of producing any kind of blue pigment. Genetic engineering added the gene for blue pigments to the rose genome, allowing breeders to explore many more rose colors than they could before.

How are genetic engineering and selective breeding the same?
Selective breeding is a category that has genetic engineering in it. while selective breeding is choosing a trait or feature to breed on, genetic engineering is a man made change in a subjects genes
Which outcome is possible using genetic engineering but not using selective breeding?
The insertion of a [desired] gene segment into an existing chromosome.
What is The differences between traditional plant breeding and genetic engineering?
manipulation of genes for human welfare is known as genetic engineering
How does breeding differ from gentic engineering?
Breeding is more natural that Genetic engineering. Breeding is simply that you take sperm from the male animal of that species and inserted into the female either naturally or by artificial insemination. Genetic Engineering is when add genes from different things into that animal. This is usually done in a lab.
What are five types of genetic engineering?
AnswerThe three types of genetic engineering are:Applied genetic engineering which includes cloning and transgenesis.Chemical genetic engineering which includes genes mapping, gene interaction, and genes codingAnalytical genetic engineering which includes computer mapping.
How are genetic engineering and selective breeding the same?
Selective breeding is a category that has genetic engineering in it. while selective breeding is choosing a trait or feature to breed on, genetic engineering is a man made change in a subjects genes
Why genetic engineering is superior to selective breeding?
Genetic engineering: -more specific changes -changes are more controlled -takes less time to enact -lack of variation
What part of science is selective breeding?
Genetics - or genetic engineering.
The science of improving hereditary qualities is known as?
Selective breeding or Genetic Engineering or Eugenics
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
What process do humans use to influence the traits of a species?
selective breeding; been going on for thousands of years. genetic engineering; been going on for decades.
A form of genetic engineering in which plants or animals are selected to breed and give offspring with desirable characteristics is known as?
Selective Breeding
Which outcome is possible using genetic engineering but not using selective breeding?
The insertion of a [desired] gene segment into an existing chromosome.
What biotechnological methods make selective breeding in live stock possible?
AI (artificial insemination), and, arguably, genetic engineering.
What would genetic engineering and selective breeding go under?
It depends. If youre talking about a category, I guess they'd be under health science and health engineering.
Without genetic engineering horses would have been domesticated?
Horses were domesticated long before the concept of genetic engineering was even selective breeding.
What is the fastest way to cross-breed animals?
I'm not sure if this is the fastest but it is faster than selective breeding. it is called genetic engineering
