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 are the two methods of selective breeding?
The two methods of selective breeding are inbreeding, where closely related individuals are bred to emphasize particular traits, and outbreeding, where unrelated individuals are bred to introduce new genetic variability.
What isn't an example of selective breeding?
Selective breeding is when people (scientists) breed plants/animals for their traits. Its like strong horses being bred together or like white and red flowers to make pinks flowers. They can predict what the organism will turn out to look like. An example that ISN'T selective breeding is random flowers/animals that breed not caused by humans.
What is selective breeding?
Selective breeding is the process in which two animals from the same species reproduce due to useful characteristics. Two animals with a certain type of characteristic are bred together to produce offspring. Then the offspring with the most useful characteristic breeds with another offspring to produce more offspring. This process continues for generations until the offspring consistently have the useful characteristic farmers or scientists are looking for. Cross-breeding is a type of selective breeding except with animals from two organisms from the same species but not the same breed. Selective breeding is one of the most common causes for a wide range of breeds in animals and varieties in plants. this is incorrectIt is the process which humans use animal breeding and plant breeding to selectively develop particular characteristics by choosing which typically animal or plant males and females will sexually reproduce and have offspring together
How gentic traits inheritance differ in natural selection vs selective breeding?
In natural selection, genetic traits are passed down based on survival advantages, with organisms inheriting traits that increase their chances of survival and reproduction. In selective breeding, humans intentionally choose specific traits to be passed down, regardless of their survival advantage, with the goal of producing desired characteristics in offspring for human benefit. The main difference is that natural selection is driven by environmental factors selecting for advantageous traits, while selective breeding is driven by human intervention selecting for specific traits.
What is an example of a selective bred animal or plant?
Dogs Dogs have been selectively bred for different purposes, such as guard dogs, sheepdogs, tracker dogs and "cute pets" Wheat Wheat has been selectively bred for higher yields, shorter stems to reduce wind damage and greater resistance to diseases Horses Horses are selectively bred and technology can increase the rate of conception, a healthy pregnancy, and successful foaling.
Origin of the giant rabbit?
Giant rabbit breeds were developed through programs of selective breeding. They were bred for the meat and fur trade.
What are the two methods of selective breeding?
The two methods of selective breeding are inbreeding, where closely related individuals are bred to emphasize particular traits, and outbreeding, where unrelated individuals are bred to introduce new genetic variability.
What breeds of dog are not selectively bred?
All defined breeds are selectively bred. Maybe different breeders have slightly different goals, but as long as humans decide which dog mates with which, then it is selective breeding. Only time breeding isn't selective is when the dogs are free to mate as THEY wish. As with street dogs.
What are the qualities of a mini schnauzer?
Personality, inteligence and loyalty to the owner
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.
Do people use selective breeding or shared dominance to develop different dog breeds?
Using selective breeding is exactly how people produced the different dog breeds. They discovered dogs that had the characteristics or skills they wanted and bred them.
2rd question to your home workscientists are using zebras to try to produce quaggas by selective breeding you need to describe the steps in this selective breeding process plez help?
Selective breeding for producing quaggas using zebras involves selecting zebras with physical traits closer to those of quaggas, such as coat color and striping patterns. These selected zebras are then bred together to pass on these desired traits to their offspring. Through successive generations of selective breeding, the goal is to eventually achieve animals that closely resemble quaggas in appearance.
How is cross breeding different from selective breeding?
Cross breeding is simply taking two breeds of animals and mating them together (Such as a Charolais crossed with a Hereford). Where selective breeding is selecting the what two animals you want bred together to produce a better animal.
Has a cow had been selective breed?
All cows that exist today have been selectively bred to be what they are now. They also will be selectively bred to produce the desired calf that the farmer needs to either produce more calves or be slaughtered for beef production later in its life.
What is the prifix.of.purebred?
Purebred animals are bred from parents of the same breed, resulting in offspring that have predictable traits and characteristics. This selective breeding helps maintain the purity of the breed's gene pool.
A breed sounds as if it were bred from illusions Reality could be changed if this breed went extinct?
Reality could be changed... Alter Real
How has selective breeding been used on humans beings?
it is useful to humans because if they are looking into raising a foal, to grow up to be a great race horse they would want the parents to be healthy and quite fit. Also if they wanted to raise it to be a jumping horse, they would have to mate a healthy and muscular mare with a healthy and muscular stud. Hope that helps with your question? x
