?? Depends on the purpose of the breeding program.

Things like disease resistance, flower colour, plant height, flower size, fruit size, fruit longevity

Traits contributing to better adaptation for growth and reproduction in plants will be desirable. These include resistance to biotic and abiotic factors.

The color of a plant's flowers could be changed by breeding... as evidenced by the many colors of roses and tulips that exist today.

What did Medel study to learn about genetics?

Mendel studied dominant and recessive traits in pea plants and flowers that had traits that had either or phenotypes. For example, a pea plant could have round or wrinkled offspring. He would then breed the round and wrinkled together and see what happened.


Describe gregor mendels experiment with pea plants?

Gregor Mendel's pea plant experiment allowed him great control, as pea plants can self-pollinate or cross-pollinate, and he was able to pollinate them at will. He studied the characteristics of each plant he would cross-pollinate, perform the pollination and plant the resulting seeds, then study the characteristics of the resulting plants.


Which term describes inherited traits are visible?

The term that describes inherited traits that are visible would be the organisms phenotype. The genotype would be the genes that make the traits.


How are multiple alleles different from polygenic traits?

Multiple alleles are genes that have more than two alleles. An example of this would be blood types, with ABO as three separate alleles.Polygenic traits are traits whose phenotype rely on alleles from different genes. An example of this would be hair type, which relies on genes from different parts of chromosomes.The main difference is that multiple alleles are genes with 3 or more alleles; polygenic traits do not necessarily have more alleles, but they rely on on multiple genes.

visual inspection of phenotypic traits.


How might cloning be useful to animal breeders?

AnswerThe very basic of genetics underlies all breeding is that parents with desirable traits can have children with those same desirable traits. A more detailed understanding of genetics allows one to figure out the odds of those traits passing on, understand how it is done, and better plan to bring out traits that are desirable. This is useful because it gives the breeders a better precision in matching parents/source genetic information that will produce viable and desirable traits in the offspring.


If Gregor Mendel didn't use plants that were not true breeding then would he have discovered dominant and recessive traits?

If Gregor Mendel did not use plants that were not true breeding, he would not have discovered heredity because there would not be any evidence that traits passed on to the next generation and that the offspring retained the traits of the parents.


What mineral is the closest relative to moissanite?

Moissanite closely resembles a diamond. However, there are many differences to be noted. Such as the color, clarity and strength. Each of these traits are considered less desirable in the Moissanite, but much more desirable then a Cubic Zirconium would be.


If Gregor Mendel would have not used true bleeding plants would he have had discovered dominant and recessive traits?

No. At least not him.


What kind of plants grow in the high plains?

probably they are smaller types of plants since there is a lack of oxygen. Those types of plants are like short grass and small bushes. No big trees would be there.


What is the principle of natural selection?

The principle of natural selection is that the fastest or the strongest (in other words the most skill at a trait) would be the most desirable mate and the weak ones that lacked these skills or mutations like thumbs would not be mated with. So the principle of natural selection is we will always find the strongest, fastest or the most intelligent or other advanced traits more desirable.
