While many plant breeders have made significant contributions, Gregor Mendel is often regarded as one of the greatest selective plant breeders of all time. His pioneering work in the 19th century with pea plants established the foundational principles of heredity and genetics. Mendel's experiments laid the groundwork for modern genetics, influencing both plant breeding and agricultural practices. His insights into inheritance patterns revolutionized the understanding of how traits are passed down, making him a pivotal figure in the history of selective breeding.

Can a dog breeder spring a 'no breeding' contract on you for four months after buying a puppy even though you never signed one at the time of sale?

The agreement at the time of sale governs your legal relationship with the breeder unless you both agree to modify it later. The breeder could claim that you had orally agreed to the "no breeding" agreement at the time of sale, but it would be his or her burden to prove that in court.


What is selective breeding?

Selective breeding is the process in which two animals from the same species reproduce due to useful characteristics. Two animals with a certain type of characteristic are bred together to produce offspring. Then the offspring with the most useful characteristic breeds with another offspring to produce more offspring. This process continues for generations until the offspring consistently have the useful characteristic farmers or scientists are looking for. Cross-breeding is a type of selective breeding except with animals from two organisms from the same species but not the same breed. Selective breeding is one of the most common causes for a wide range of breeds in animals and varieties in plants. this is incorrectIt is the process which humans use animal breeding and plant breeding to selectively develop particular characteristics by choosing which typically animal or plant males and females will sexually reproduce and have offspring together


How does a horse breeder use selective breeding with a black coat?

If a breeder is trying to produce only black coated horses the ideal genetic make up at the Agouti and extention sites would be aaEE. Elimination of any modifiers that compromise the intensity of black color should be screened out over time. That being said, selection based only on color is ill advised. Temperament, structure suitability to the desired task are paramount over any color combination.
