What else can I help you with?
One example of selective breeding?
Most of the domesticated plants and animals you are familiar with have been produced through selective breeding. Dogs, cats, cows, goats, corn, grass, tomatoes, etc .
Examples of selective breeding?
Humans use selective breeding, which takes advantage OS nauturally occurring genetic variation in plants, animals, and other organisms, to pass desired traits on to the next generation of organisms.
How was corn devloped?
Corn was developed through selective breeding, which was a process that involved selecting plants with the highest yields and the seeds that didn't come off the plants the easiest over those with low yields and heads that easily "shattered" when harvested.
How has corn changed through the process of selective bred?
Through selective breeding, corn has been altered to have larger kernels, increased pest resistance, and higher crop yields. Additionally, corn varieties have been developed for specific purposes such as animal feed, ethanol production, and human consumption. Overall, selective breeding has allowed for the genetic enhancement of corn to better meet the needs of agriculture and industry.
What is one other characteristic that farmers might like corn plants to have to increase the amount of corn produced?
?
What is the difference between genetically modified plants and hybrid plant varieties which are produced by selective breeding?
Hybrid plants are selectively bred within a species (corn with corn, lilacs with lilacs, tomatoes with tomatoes, etc.), mostly by pollinating one kind of the same species with another. Genetic modification involves taking a gene or genes from one species and forcing them into the seeds of another species in a lab. Hybridization is vertical breeding (within a species) and genetic modification is horizontal breeding (between species).
What has the author Herbert Kendall Hayes written?

What is the commercial importance for selective breeding?
Historically early selective breeding has made blueberries, corn, strawberries, ect. bigger, while has made other things, such as live stock smaller, as well as inedible things edible (such as poisonous wild almonds). Selective breeding in the long run effects the entire organism; such as lettuce being selectively bred for bigger leaves, while broccoli in the same family was selectively bred for a bigger flower.
What are two different thing humans humans have created through selective breeding?
Breeds of: Cattle, Horses, Cats, Dogs, Birds....so 1. is animals for pets and food Plants such as corn, wheat, oats, flowers, fruits...all selectively bred for color, food value, beauty...so 2. is plants
How big do albino striped corn snakes get?
The Corn snake grows up to around 72 inches (1.8 metres). The 'morph' of a snake has no bearing on its size - they are simply colour variations that have been introduced through selective breeding.
How did the first Americans develop corn?
The first Americans, particularly the indigenous peoples of Mesoamerica, developed corn through a process of selective breeding. They started with a wild grass called teosinte and gradually domesticated it over thousands of years, selecting for desirable traits like larger kernels and more productive plants. This process involved saving and replanting seeds from plants with these desired traits, leading to the development of maize, or corn as we know it today.
A scientist crosses two different varieties of corn to produce a single variety that has traits from both parentsthis technique is an example of?
The process of hybridization.
