What is the difference between genetically modified plants and hybrid plant varieties which are produced by selective breeding?
Hybrid plants are selectively bred within a species (corn with corn, lilacs with lilacs, tomatoes with tomatoes, etc.), mostly by pollinating one kind of the same species with another. Genetic modification involves taking a gene or genes from one species and forcing them into the seeds of another species in a lab. Hybridization is vertical breeding (within a species) and genetic modification is horizontal breeding (between species).

Luther burbank developed over 800 varieties of plants by?
Luther Burbank developed over 800 varieties of plants by using selective breeding techniques to cross-pollinate different species and select for desirable traits over several generations. He was known for his innovative methods in plant breeding which led to the creation of new and improved plant varieties. Burbank's work contributed significantly to modern agriculture and horticulture.
What term is used to refer to the breeding of improved varieties of plants and animals?
The term commonly used to refer to the breeding of improved varieties of plants and animals is "selective breeding." This process involves choosing individuals with desirable traits to mate and produce offspring with those traits, ultimately leading to improved genetic characteristics in the population.
What is the breeding of organisms that have a certain desire trait?
Selective breeding.
Varieties of purebred dogs are maintain by?
Professional breeder's who choose only the best lines.
Is seedless fruit genetically modified?
No, seedless fruit is not genetically modified. Seedless fruit is typically produced through natural processes such as selective breeding or hybridization.
Are dogs genetically modified?
No, dogs as a species have not been genetically modified. However, selective breeding over time has led to different breeds with specific characteristics.
Can organic fruits or veggies be seedless?
Yes, organic fruits or veggies can be seedless. Seedless varieties can occur naturally, be developed through selective breeding, or be produced through sterile hybridization techniques. Organizations that certify organic produce have specific guidelines for seedless varieties.
In the past humans developed varieties of dogs such as the German shepherd and the bearded collie using what?
Selective breeding for particular traits
What are cloning and selective breeding?
depends what your trying to do if you are trying to restore a population of animals the selective breeding if you are trying to make food then cloning if your trying to make a specific trait then selective breeding
Why are genetically modified organisms good?
It provides a faster lower cost way to get desired traits than standard selective breeding does.
How long have humans been trying to genetically modify animals?
In the sense that selective breeding can be considered genetic modification, humans have been genetically modifying animals since prehistoric times.
