The only thing that causes evolution is Mutations due to forced natural selection of desired alleles.

Differences of cloning and selective breeding?

Cloning involves creating an exact genetic copy of an organism, while selective breeding involves choosing specific individuals with desired traits to breed together. Cloning results in a genetically identical organism, while selective breeding produces offspring with a mix of traits from the parents. Cloning is a more precise process with limited genetic variation, whereas selective breeding allows for more genetic diversity.


Methods for developing organisms with desirable traits?

1. Selective Breeding - the 2 types of breeding is Hybridization and Inbreeding2. Cloning - when you copy exactly the same genes as the organism from which it is produced3. Genetic Engineering - Genes from one organism are transferred into the DNA of other organism's. Usually for medicines and food crops


Galapagos finches evolved partly due to 1 cloning and recombination 2 migration and selective breeding 3 mutation and asexual reproduction 4 varitaion and competition?

variation and competition. The evolution of Galapagos finches was driven by variations in beak size and shape within the population, leading to competition for limited resources. This eventually resulted in natural selection favoring specific beak traits that were best suited for different types of food sources on the different islands.


Is cloning still used today?

its used for dicks also known as penis, to put on a girl if they dont want they're vagina.


How cloning is important?

Cloning is important in scientific research as it allows for the generation of genetically identical cells or organisms for studying diseases, developing new therapies, and understanding genetic mechanisms. It also has potential applications in agriculture, such as producing disease-resistant crops or enhancing livestock breeding. In the future, cloning may offer solutions to conservation efforts for endangered species.

What are cloning and selective breeding?

depends what your trying to do if you are trying to restore a population of animals the selective breeding if you are trying to make food then cloning if your trying to make a specific trait then selective breeding

Farmers use selective breeding all the time.


What other methods of artificial breeding are there other than selective breeding?

Other methods of artificial breeding include in vitro fertilization, embryo transfer, and cloning. These techniques allow for the manipulation and control of reproduction outside of traditional selective breeding methods.

How cloning is used in cattle breeding?

Cloning is used in cattle breeding by taking an embryo of a donor cow (being a female of top breeding quality) and making it into a copy of that cow with the same desired qualities. Cloning is also naturally done by producing fraternal twins in cattle.


What are the similarities between inbreeding and genetic engineering?

Genetic engineering is the combining of DNA from different species and can only be done in the laboratory. Traditional plant and animal breeding stay within the species to get the desired result. Some similarities: Both genetic engineering and selective breeding result in modification of an organism's genotype. In other words, the organism's genes are changed in some way. If one or more genes from another species are introduced, the resulting genome consists of recombinant DNA. In both processes, an out side source is in control, rather than natural selection. (Selective breeding is sometimes referred to as artificial selection.) So humans decide which individual animals or plants to retain in each generation. And in both processes, the purpose is to make the livestock or crop better from a human point of view.


Is cloning just another term for cross breeding?

no


What are the main disadvantages of cloning?

There have been problems with cloning. Mainly due to a short life or defects. Cloning does not allow natural selection. Defects will continue and may be amplified.


What is the purpose of cloning plants?

Tissue culture cloning is the process of taking small parts of specimen plants and creating unlimited numbers of exact genetic copies asexually in a sterile lab setting. This process has been adapted to create genetically altered commercial food and medicinal crops.
