What else can I help you with?
Which of the following have been produced by selective breeding A horse breeds B cat breeds C dog breeds D all of the above?
Humans have selectively bred all of these: A horse breeds B cat breeds C dog breeds Scientists also cloned-bred Dolly, a Finn Dorset sheep. Dolly was born July 5th, 1996, at the Roslin Institute in Edinburgh, Scotland. Clone-breeding raised many controversies about cloning, while breeding raises few controversies UNLESS the breeding is known to produce defects in offspring.
Why are there fewer ethical concerns associated with selective breeding than with other forms of genetic engineering'?
Selective breeding is often viewed as less ethically concerning than other forms of genetic engineering because it involves traditional methods of enhancing desirable traits through natural reproduction, rather than directly modifying an organism's DNA. This process is seen as more in line with natural evolutionary processes and has been practiced for thousands of years in agriculture and animal husbandry. Additionally, selective breeding typically poses fewer risks of unintended consequences compared to techniques like CRISPR or gene editing, which can introduce unforeseen genetic alterations. However, ethical debates still exist regarding animal welfare and biodiversity impacts.
Is agave a gmo?
No, agave is not a genetically modified organism (GMO). It is a natural plant that has been cultivated for centuries for its sweet sap, which is used to produce agave syrup and tequila. While selective breeding has occurred to enhance certain traits, agave itself has not been genetically engineered in a laboratory setting like GMOs.
What are the risks of GMO?
Genetic modification has been a fact for centuries through selective breeding. Though we can manipulate some genes directly today great care is taken. With any new technology there are always unforeseen risks hence the safety precautions. Risks that can be predicted are taken into consideration with the processes. However there is no evidence that there will be mass epidemics, cancers and mutations occurring.
what vegetable is man made?
The modern cultivated carrot is often considered a man-made vegetable, as it has been selectively bred over centuries from wild ancestors to enhance its size, color, and sweetness. Originally, carrots were purple or white, but through cultivation, the orange variety became popular. This selective breeding process transformed the carrot into the familiar vegetable we know today.
What are three animals that have been produced by selective breeding?
Horse, Dog, and Cat.
One example of selective breeding?
Most of the domesticated plants and animals you are familiar with have been produced through selective breeding. Dogs, cats, cows, goats, corn, grass, tomatoes, etc .
What process do humans use to influence the traits of a species?
selective breeding; been going on for thousands of years. genetic engineering; been going on for decades.
How has selective breeding been helpful to your current way of life?
Absalutly no way at ALL!
What are some organisms that was been produced by selective breeding?
I'm unaware of any animals which cannot be selectively bred. If offspring are produced through the mating of male and female of the species, you should be able to select for the most desirable traits in both parents. This assumes, of course, that the breeding stock are already in captivity.
Is a purple potato GMO food?
No, a purple potato is not necessarily a genetically modified organism (GMO). Purple potatoes, like other colored potatoes, can be traditional varieties that have been cultivated through selective breeding. However, some purple potato varieties may be developed through genetic modification to enhance certain traits, but not all purple potatoes fall into this category. It’s important to check the specific variety and its breeding methods to determine if it is a GMO.
Can a quagga be recreated?
Yes. This has almost been done, in fact, say some. A breeding-back programme has commenced, through selective breeding of the southern Plains Zebras.
How has corn changed through the process of selective bred?
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.
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
Is a cacti a natural selection or selective breeding?
Cacti are primarily a product of natural selection, as they have evolved over millions of years to adapt to their arid environments. Their unique features, such as thick skin and water-storing tissues, are traits that have been favored in survival. However, some cacti have also been subject to selective breeding, particularly in cultivation for ornamental purposes, resulting in various hybrid varieties. Thus, while the majority of cacti are a result of natural selection, selective breeding plays a role in their diversity in cultivated settings.
What are the features that all the different breeds of dog have been developed from the wolf by selective breeding?
All the breeds have been found to howl at the moon just like the wolf.
What process is a common practice that has been used by farmers for hundreds of year to develop new plant and animal varieties?
It is called selective breeding.
