What is selecting plants and animals with the most desired traits to breed for the next generation?

Yes, that's what happens when you select certain pigs to be more lean and grow more muscle on their frames in a shorter time period: same with broiler chickens or beef cattle. With layers, producers are selecting for hens that will produce a large number of eggs within their "allotted" life-time. Similar thing goes for dairy cows selected to produce milk.

How is producing a GM plant different from a GM animals?
Animals procedure requires extracting an egg cell from a female. In plants they insert a plasmid containing the desired gene into a plant cell.
Which generation of the fern plants is said to be the haploid generation?
gametophytic generation
Why did Aristotle believe the theory of spontaneous generation?
He believed that animals are the same as plants, in that some plants are grown from a seed, whilst some are self-generated. Though now, that theory has been disproved because plants are not self-generated.
The trait that disappeared in the f1 generation?
reappears in some plants in the F2 generation
In which generation were recessive traits hidden in all the plants in Mendels experiments?
f2 generation
What are the needs of plants that animals can provide?
Spreading the seeds for the next generation of plants.
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 haploid called in plants?
The haploid in plants is when there is only one set of chromosomes. There are whole groups of animals that are haploid. These animals include bees, wasps, and ants.

What is Zoapharnacogology and is it the study of why animal’s use; or about animals using because of human interference?
Zoopharmacognosy is a behaviour in which non-human animals apparently self-medicate by selecting and ingesting or topically applying plants, soils, insects,
What is the definition of selective breeding?
Selective breeding is when you mate specific plants or animals to pass on a certain genetic trait they may have. For example, if you have two horses with very strong hearts then you may want to breed them so that their offspring may also have a strong heart. Farmers use selective breeding to breed the best plants and animals for feeding, selling or breeding.
What are examples of selective breeding?
1. an example of selective breeding is crossing a poodle and a labor-doodle that have desired traits. usually this is practiced on by plants and animals.
What fundamental traits did lennaeus use to separate plants from animals?
Autotrophic mode of nutrition Presence of cell wall Presence of alternation of generation
How do plants and animals get along?
Plants feed animals, animals fertilize plants.
What would the result be if animals did not reproduce?
well, all the animals would eventually die and there would be nothing left except for maybe some plants and the reason for that is that there will be no new animals therefore the population does not grow and if it doesn't grow there will only be 1 generation of that animal and when that generation dies then there will be no more animals of that species to mate and reproduce
