What else can I help you with?
What is it called when breeders cross two genetically different individuals?
Crossing two genetically similar organisms produces a hybrid.
What happens when breeders cross two genetically identical organisms?
When breeders cross two genetically identical organisms the same genes have an increased chance of expressing themselves in the offspring. However, the offspring will also have genes from ancestors.
True or false Is hybridization breeders cross two individuals that are genetically identical?
False. In hybridization, breeders cross two individuals that are genetically different in order to produce offspring with desirable traits from both parents. Genetically identical individuals would result from cloning, not hybridization.
What advantage does crossing over provide to new organisms?
When breeders cross over new organism they are increasing the organism's chances of getting great survival genes. Breeders typically cross breed organisms with the best genes.
What is the offspring of two parents from different purebred strains?
By the process of hybridization, breeders cross two genetically different organisms. The purpose is to have the best traits of both parents.
How do Breeders cross dissimilar individuals to bring together the best of both organisms?
Breeders cross dissimilar individuals by selecting traits from each parent that they want to combine in the offspring, and then mating those parents to produce hybrids. By selectively breeding individuals with desirable traits, breeders can bring together the best characteristics of both organisms in the offspring. This process is known as hybridization or crossbreeding.
What is it when breeders cross two geneticlly similar organisms?
The two organisms DNA fuse together and join as one to produce an organism with both of the other organisms genetic material.
Can a coyote and gray fox cross?
No, they are too genetically different to breed successfully.
What is a tool used by selective breeders that cross different desired traits in hopes to produced the best traits of both parents?
Hybridization
Who discovered genetically modified organisms and when?
No one discovered genetically modified organisms. Such organisms are created by people working in laboratories. In 1953 it was discovered that DNA is the material that carries genes, the information that defines and structures each organism. For the next 50 years people worked to understand DNA and eventually learned how to modify it, in some circumstances. When such a modification is successful, the result is an organism that has been genetically modified - a genetically modified organism.
What are the offspring of two different organisms called?
The offspring of two different organisms are called hybrids. These offspring inherit traits from both parent organisms.
How do genes from genetically modified organisms escape into the environment?
One known way genetically modified organisms interact with the environment occurs when GMO crops cross pollinate with non GMO crops. There is some concern that the GMOs may transfer to other species, since the technique used in genetic engineering seldom occurs in nature and is fairly new technology.
