What is genetic engineering in The Giver?
they basically made it to where almost everyone has the same genes...
How does GMO differ from an individual of conventional breeding?
Conventional breeding is vertical breeding within the same species. Genetic modification is horizontal breeding, which removes a gene from one organism and inserts it into an unrelated organism. The transgenic individual carries the gene from the unrelated species, while the individual from conventional breeding does not.
Is hybridization an example of genetic engineering?
Hybridization is crossing two varieties of the same or similar species through pollination or other natural methods to create a new variety. Genetic engineering is the process of artifically inserting a gene from one species into another species to create a new trait, such as inserting a bacteria gene into corn to create resistance to a pesticide. So, though some consider them to be the same, they are not. Hybridization is a completely different process than genetic engineering.
Are cloning and genetic engineering the same?
no cloning is duplicating, and genetics are duplicated items with mutation mistakes, in most cases if you want more. check out wikipedia and type in molecular cloning.
Is aerospace engineering tough?
It is about the same difficulty as Mechanical Engineering. Where I went to school, it was in the same department and most of the classes were the same except the specialized aero courses.
How is selective breeding different from genetic engineering?
Genetic Engineering allows scientists to transfer genes from one organism to an organism of a different species; and in Selective Breeding organisms within the same species with certain desirable characteristics are mated to produce a new variety. The difference between the two is in Genetic Engineering manually transfers genes between species and Selective Breeding mates varieties within the same species to produce a new variety.
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
What is a form of genetic engineering in which plants or animals are selected to breed and give offspring with desirable characteristics known as?
Selective breeding involves choosing parents with desirable traits to produce offspring with those same traits. This process is a form of genetic engineering that has been used for centuries to enhance certain characteristics in plants and animals.
Which method would be the best way of producing a similar plant for a friend explain your answer?
Definitely NOT cloning. If you used cloning, the new plant would be EXACTLY the same, not similar. You could use genetic engineering or selective breeding. If you used genetic engineering, you could choose one trait and take that gene and put in the new plant, so the new plant would be similar, but not exactly the same. If you used selective breeding, you could use inbreeding or hybridization. If you bred your plant with another plant with similar characteristics, [inbreeding], the result would be almost the same as your original plant and if you used hybridization, the new plant would be completely different. I would use genetic engineering, because you can pick specific traits and take those genes and put them into a new plant, so it will have some of the same traits but not all, and it will be similar but not exactly the same.
What is the difference between natural and selective breeding?
The difference between selective breeding and genetic engineering is that selective breeding is when two organisms are breed together in hope of getting an offspring with the desired phenotype, while genetic engineering is the same concept except it deals with humans.
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.

What motivates people to use Genetic Engineering?
The same things that have motivated people to use conventional breeding methods in agriculture and to use conventional medical techniques to better treat diseases in medicine. Genetic engineering just offers additional options, it does not have different motivations.
How much do cows weigh after selective breeding?
The same after selective breeding. A cow's weight, of course, increases as the fetal calf inside her grows until it's time to give birth to push him out.
Which form of selective breeding crosses parents with the same or similar sets of alleles?
Inbreeding
Which form of selective breeding crosses parents with the same or similar sets of allele?
Inbreeding!
What are two types of selective breeding and how do they compare?
Inbreeding and outbreeding are two types of selective breeding. Inbreeding involves breeding closely related individuals to accentuate desired traits but can lead to an increased risk of genetic diseases. Outbreeding involves crossing individuals from unrelated lines to introduce new genetic variation but can result in a loss of desirable traits if not carefully managed.
