What trait should a farmer select to breed a plant for more corn crops?

The hybrid seeds are the traits that a farmer should select to breed a plant for more corn crops.


Can hybrid plants that dont produce seed still pollinate other plants?

yes. in most (highly) hybridized plants seeds are produced but are either infertile or the genetics of the plant prohibit successful fertilization and the production of seed. this is very common occurrence amongst F1 Hybrid vegetable seed varieties. most hybrid plants do however produce viable pollen, allowing the hybrid plant to pollinate a non-hybrid plant. this is one of the major points of contention with genetically modified crops; where the "inserted" gene could in fact find its way into other closely situated crops.


What is a kind of plant that can reproduce without seeds?

Where did nattive Americans find seeds to plant crops?

Native Americans obtained seeds for planting crops through various means, such as by saving seeds from previous harvests, trading with other tribes, and sometimes through wild foraging. They also practiced seed saving and selection to adapt crops to their local environments over generations.


What is the genotype for a hybrid round pure yellow pea?

In pea plants, round seeds are dominant (R) over wrinkled seeds (r), and yellow seeds are also dominant (Y) over green seeds (y). A hybrid round pure yellow pea would have the genotype RrYY, where "Rr" indicates it is heterozygous for the round seed trait and "YY" indicates it is homozygous for the yellow seed trait.

What are hybrid crops?

A hybrid has the genetics of both of its originating crops but may have complete unique outward characteristics. This is because two hidden recessive genes from the two originating crops can be combined to produce an outward visible effect in the hybrid.


What is the difference between hybrid and non hybrid seeds?

Non-Hybrid and Non-GMO seeds and are not chemically treated. Because they are non-hybrid, the seeds may be harvested at the end of the growing season and then used for the next year's planting. Hybrid seeds can't be used again, and they are chemically treated. You will then have an ongoing supply of survival garden seeds for you and your family when you need it the most.

What is the greenhouse for in Farmville?

The Greenhouse is a constructable building in FarmVille. It was introduced on February 05, 2011; the frame with one brick was provided free to players on that date. It is a functional building which allows the hybridization of seeds to produce seeds of Hybrid Crops. The Greenhouse may be built to three construction levels; higher level Greenhouses have more seed trays and so allow the faster production of hybrid seeds. It usually takes three days for each tray of seeds to hybridize, but this time can be reduced if friends help.


Why do people use seeds?

To grow crops.


What is the significance of apomixis?

Apomixis is the mechanism of seed production without involving the process of meiosis and syngamy. It plays an important role in hybrid seed production. The method of producing hybrid seeds by cultivation is very expensive for farmers. Also, by sowing hybrid seeds, it is difficult to maintain hybrid characters as characters segregate during meiosis. Apomixis prevents the loss of specific characters in the hybrid. Also, it is a cost-effective method for producing seeds.
