Yes, but with limitaions. The process is used mostly for studies of genetics and disease control in sericulture applications (silk worms). I am looking into this subject for an extended research application. Most of the work being done is in Japan and India.

The practice of breeding dogs to produce offspring with specific traits is an example of?

natural selecion


Do dogs undergo artificial selection in the process of breeding?

Yes, dogs undergo artificial selection in the process of breeding, where humans selectively breed dogs with desired traits to create specific breeds.


Do butterflies live in groups?

Butterflies do not typically live in groups - they are predominantly solitary insects. However, they may gather in large numbers during migration or while congregating around food sources or breeding grounds.


What are three examples of artificial selection and how do they demonstrate the impact of human intervention on the genetic traits of organisms?

Three examples of artificial selection are the breeding of dogs for specific traits, the cultivation of crops for desired characteristics, and the selective breeding of livestock for improved productivity. These examples demonstrate how human intervention can influence the genetic traits of organisms by intentionally selecting and breeding individuals with desired traits, leading to the propagation of those traits in subsequent generations.


Is artificial selection or selective breeding a good analogy for the selection that occurs in nature?

Yes, artificial selection or selective breeding can be a good analogy for the selection that occurs in nature through natural selection. Both processes involve the intentional or environmental selection of traits that are beneficial for survival and reproduction, leading to changes in populations over time.
