What are humans select organisms for breeding based on traits?
Humans use selective breeding to pass desired traits to the next generation of plants or animals.
What is the process by which humans select plants or animals for breeding based on disired traits?
They selectively breed them. So that the animal has the best characteristics possible. Examples are pigs with more fat or sheep with thicker wool.
When farmers select the largest hogs the fastest horses or the cows that produce the most milk for breeding is called?
This is called selective breeding or artificial selection, opposed to natural selection.
What are the methods used for getting desired characters for plants?
Plants can be genetically modified using techniques such as gene editing, transgenic insertions, and mutagenesis to introduce desired traits or characteristics. Traditional breeding methods can also be used to select and cross plants with specific traits to achieve the desired characteristics. Evaluation of plant genetics and selection can help in identifying and breeding plants with desired traits.
Why are mutations useful in selective breeding?
Mutations introduce genetic diversity, allowing breeders to select for desirable traits. This diversity can lead to the development of new traits or improvements in existing ones, enhancing the breeding process. By selecting for advantageous mutations, breeders can accelerate the breeding of plants and animals with desired characteristics.
Why is it easier to breed plants than animals?
Breeding plants typically involves manipulating their reproductive organs, such as flowers, with lower risk compared to manipulating the reproductive organs of animals. Plants also have a higher reproductive potential and produce a larger number of offspring, allowing for greater genetic variability to select desired traits. Additionally, plants do not have complex behaviors or social structures that can complicate breeding programs.
Name two methods of selective breeding in plants?
humans select which plant will reproduce with which plant. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selection_methods_in_plant_breeding_based_on_mode_of_reproduction
Humans used blank to select desirable breeds of animals or strains of plants to cultivate?
artificial selection
Luther burbank developed over 800 varieties of plants by?
Luther Burbank developed over 800 varieties of plants by using selective breeding techniques to cross-pollinate different species and select for desirable traits over several generations. He was known for his innovative methods in plant breeding which led to the creation of new and improved plant varieties. Burbank's work contributed significantly to modern agriculture and horticulture.
What in humans select traits that will be passed from one generation to another elective breeding or natural selection?
elective breeding
What bitechnological method make selective breeding in the livestock possible?
DNA analysis is being used to select animals for selective breeding. Studies are underway correlating certain genetic profiles with characteristics such as disease resistance, milk production, growth rates, and feed utilization.
What are two traits that farmers select for when breeding replacements to help reduce ill health?
can choose bulls that have been selected for health traits by culling stock that get the disease, and offspring,you end up mob less likely to get desease
