How are breeder reactors different from regular nuclear reactors?
A breeder reactor generates (in a way) new fuel, sometimes more fuel than it uses, by converting non-fissionable isotopes into fissionable isotopes, through neutron capture.
Artificial and natural selection?
Artificial selection is when a human determines how an animal or plant breeds. For example: dog breeding. A breeder will put a male and female dog of the same breed together while the female is in heat in order to get them to breed. S/he chooses a male and female biased on their looks, genetics, and temperament. Natural selection however is when nature determines how an animal breeds. For example: wolves. If the temperature drops below a level which wolves with a thinner coat cannot survive, then they will die and thicker coated wolves survive and breed, resulting in wolf pups with thicker coats.
Why would breeding dogs support Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection?
Selective breeding supports Darwins theory because, we adapt to our environments and believe whoever is compatible with breeding will pass on the trait, even if that means outside their own species.
What is a breeder nuclear reactor?
A breeder reactor is one that is designed to produce more fissionable fuel from material that is not initially fissionable, thus enabling a self-sustaining fuel cycle to be set up so that new supplies of the fissionable U235 are not needed (that is the concept). Note that even the normal thermal (ie moderated slow neutron) type of reactor does breed fuel, in that some of the U238, which constitutes about 95-96 percent of the uranium used, is converted to plutonium. If the fuel is processed after unloading from the reactor, the Pu can be recovered, and a mixed oxide fuel produced (MOX) which contains Pu and U235, for subsequent use in thermal reactors. This has benn done in the UK and France, but in the US this has not been done on any large scale, the used fuel has been and still is being stored on the power plant sites. However the concept of the breeder reactor as a new generation of reactors is aimed at using the fast reactor, that is one in which there is no moderator, the fission chain reaction is maintained by fast neutron fission. This requires a higher enrichment of fuel for its first load, this can be provided by Pu239, which is available from old nuclear weapons which have been taken out of service, and from chemical separation of used fuel as said above. Such a fast reactor can have an outer blanket of U238, which is available as a byproduct of the U235 enrichment process, and during operation neutron capture would convert this to Pu239 (together with higher Pu isotopes). This could then be recovered and used for subsequent fuel charges. Thorium is also a possible breeding material, producing U233. These ideas have been tried in prototypes, some large enough to produce power (Dounreay PFR in UK, Phenix in France), with some technical success, but at the moment it is not commercially attractive, the thermal types of PWR and BWR are still the main intention for new builds, and this will probably continue while U235 supplies are plentiful and reasonably priced. At some fairly distant time the fast breeder may become the preferred commercial option, but not yet.
What is genetic science?
A geneticist is a scientist who studies heredity (genes, DNA) and variation in organisms. Typically a geneticist analyzes data from experiments or population observations to interpret the inheritance of traits in relation to disease. A geneticist can be a physician who has specialized training in genetics, a genetic counselor, a breeder, or researcher in medicine, ecology, pharmacology, and various other specialities.
What do plant and animal breederrs do?
Artificial selection, which is analogous to natural selection. The breeder chooses which characteristics are desirable and breeds towards those characteristics.
What would an animal breeder use to increase the amount of milk given by his herd of cows?
artificial selection
Where can Siberian kittens be purchased?
The best place to start a search for Siberian kittens is at a when known and reputable breeder. A breeder should have a large selection of healthy Siberian kittens available for purchase.
How many guppies does a goldfish usually produce?
Goldfish can produce over 1000 fry when they spawn this is why it is very important for goldfish breeder's to perform culling (pick out the best specimens and dispose of the rest). Goldfish breeder's usually select around 50-60 fry that appear to have good potential.
How To Choose A Dog Breeder?
Once you have decided which type of dog is right for you and your household, it is time to find the right dog breeder. Avoid the pitfalls of breeders that are only out to make a profit, by learning to identify what makes a dog breeder reputable.Why you need a reputable breederFinding a reputable breeder is extremely important. Often, poorly-bred dogs can experience health problems throughout their lifetimes. These are usually genetic diseases that arise from poor breeding practices, like inbreeding. In addition to health problems, these dogs can also have temperament issues that can result in a dangerous or ill-behaved dog. This is often the result of improper socialization at a young age and can take years of training to correct.Finding the right dog breeder is important, so you can avoid the problems and costs associated with a dog that has a genetic disease or poor temperament. How to identify a good breederThere are a few basic requirements that your potential dog breeder should meet. The first step is to meet with the breeder and check out his or her kennel facilities. Just talking with the breeder should allow you to get a feel for his or her motivations and attitudes towards breeding dogs. Any kennel facility should appear sanitary and not overpopulated. Make sure the breeder is only focusing on one breed of dog. A sure sign of a 'backyard' breeder is that he or she is breeding many different dog breeds. It is important that both parents of a litter are located on-site. Spend time with the parents and the puppies to gauge the temperaments of all the dogs. Make sure the breeder provides you with a signed health guarantee for the puppy. In addition, if you are not going to actively show or compete with the puppy, a spay and neuter contract is also needed. One of the best ways to know for sure that a breeder is reputable is to get a referral from a local kennel, another breeder or another owner of one of the breeder's dogs. This a great way to know other people's experiences with that particular breeder.Finding the right dog is sometimes hard, but a little work and research can pay off greatly. By choosing a reputable breeder, you are decreasing the chance of buying a puppy with health or temperament problems. Any good breeder is sure to work hard to match your household with the perfect puppy.

Describe the principles of natural and artificial selection?
Natural selection occurs when ecological pressures "select" for one trait over another. For example, if it is cold, an animal with a heavier coat will survive longer than one with a thin coat. The one with the heavy coat will have more offspring and that gene will be more frequent in the gene pool than the gene for a thin coat.Artifical selection occurs when a desirable trait is selected and an undesirable one is not. For example, a long flowing coat on a dog may be more desirable to a breeder than a short, ragged coat. The breeder selects the genes.
How will thorium be used in the future?
Thorium will be probable in the future very important as fertile material in nuclear breeder power reactors.
